Playing career edit
Högberg made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Linköping HC during the 2012–13 Elitserien season.[1] On 17 March 2013, it was announced that Linköping would loan Högberg to Mora IK of the lower HockeyAllsvenskan for the duration of the 2013–14 season.[2]
After his fourth season in the SHL, Högberg was signed to a two-year entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on 30 March 2017.[3] He was signed by AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, to a professional try-out deal to close out the 2016–17 season.[citation needed]
Högberg split most of the 2017–18 season between the AHL Belleville Senators and the Senators ECHL team, the Brampton Beast.
Högberg began the 2018–19 season with the Belleville Senators.[4] However, before he was able to play a game for the Senators that season, he was reassigned to the ECHL on 27 November.[5] After being recalled back to the AHL,[6] and playing in seven games, Högberg was recalled to the NHL on 22 December 2018.[7] He was shortly thereafter reassigned to the AHL but eventually made his NHL debut on 29 December against the Washington Capitals.[8] He made 21 saves in the 3–2 loss to the Capitals.[9]
On 19 June 2019, Högberg was signed to a two-year contract extension, with the second year on a one-way basis with the Senators at $700,000.[10]
As an impending free agent from the Senators after five seasons within the organization, Högberg opted to return to his original Swedish club, Linköping HC of the SHL, by agreeing to a four-year contract on 17 June 2021.[11]
