As a junior player, Matthew Highmore was active with the Darthmouth Ice Dawgs and was drawn in the LHJMQ Entry Draft 2012 as the eighth player by the Saint John Sea Dogs , for which he was used in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec (LHJMQ).

Before the start of the 2014/15 season , he became assistant captain of the Saint John Sea Dogs.

Despite performing well in the LHJMQ, Highmore was not drawn in either the 2014 or 2015 NHL Entry Draft . In the 2016/17 season , Highmore was the Sea Dogs player with the highest score with 89 points and was awarded the Pepsi Top Scorer Award . In March 2017 he was signed as an undrafted player by the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League and given a three-year contract. In addition, he won the playoffs of the LHJMQ for the Coupe du Président with the Sea Dogs that year .

At the beginning of the 2017/18 season , Matthew Highmore initially worked for the Rockford IceHogs , the Chicago Blackhawks' farm team , in the American Hockey League . On December 27, 2017, he scored the first hat trick of his professional career against the Iowa Wild . As one of the top scorers on his team, Highmore took part in the AHL All-Star Classic 2018 together with his teammate Carl Dahlström . On February 24, 2018, Highmore scored his twentieth goal, making him the first IceHogs player to score more than 20 goals in his debut season. Highmore was called up to the Chicago Blackhawks roster on February 26, 2018, and made his NHL debut on March 1, 2018 against the San Jose Sharks . He scored his first goal ten days later in the loss to the Boston Bruins .
