Dylan Michael Samberg (born January 24, 1999) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Growing up in Minnesota, Samberg made his way through the junior prep ranks before enrolling at Hermantown High School. During his time at the school, he captained their hockey team and led them to two Class A state hockey titles. In his senior year, Samberg was a finalist for the Minnesota Mr. Hockey Award and secured the Associated Press All-State (first team), All-Lake Superior Conference and Duluth News-Tribune All-Area honors. He then played 14 games with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League, recording five points, before being drafted 43rd overall by the Jets during the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Samberg played three seasons with the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey at the University of Minnesota Duluth before signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Jets in April 2020. Samberg immediately joined the Jets' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.
