Marcus Högström (born March 20, 1989) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey defenceman who played in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).
Högström played in the youth set-ups of Svegs IK, Skellefteå AIK and MODO Hockey. He then spent the 2009-10 campaign with Molot-Prikamie Perm in Russia's second-tier league. He made his Elitserien debut playing with Skellefteå AIK during the 2010–11 Elitserien season and would jump between Sweden's top-flight and the second division HockeyAllsvenskan in the following years, playing for clubs like Timrå IK, IF Sundsvall Hockey, Malmö Redhawks, Almtuna IS and Djurgårdens IF.[1]
After two full seasons with Djurgårdens IF in the Elitserie, he left for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in 2016, joining HC Spartak Moscow.[2] He was waived by the KHL side in late November 2016[3] and accepted an offer from Finnish Liiga outfit HIFK a couple of days later.[4]
During his second stint with Djurgårdens IF, and in the midst of a successful 2017–18 season, Högström was signed to a three-year contract extension through to 2022 on February 7, 2018.[5] As Djurgårdens reached the semi-finals, Högström contributed with 3 goals and 23 points in 50 regular season games.
On June 12, 2018, Högström sought a release from his contract with Djurgårdens IF after securing a one-year, two-way contract as a 29-year-old with the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL).[6] In his debut 2018–19 North American season, after attending the Flames training camp, Högström was assigned to American Hockey League affiliate, the Stockton Heat. Högström's season was cut short, contributing with 2 assists in 12 games before he was ruled out with injury.
As an impending free agent from the Flames, Högström opted for a return to Sweden in rejoining Djurgårdens IF of the SHL on a two-year contract on May 10, 2019.[7]
Högström received his first cap for Sweden's men's national team in April 2016.[8]
