On March 13, 2013, the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League signed Lowe to a three-year, two-way contract.[2] He made his NHL debut on April 9, 2015, during which he racked up 10 penalty minutes for two separate fights against NHL veteran Vincent Lecavalier.[3]

In his fourth year within the Hurricanes organization, Lowe collected 3 goals and 12 points in 49 games during the 2016–17 season, before he was traded by Carolina to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Philip Samuelsson on February 21, 2017.[4]

On July 1, 2017, Lowe signed as a free agent on a one-year, two-way deal with the Edmonton Oilers.[5] He later signed a two-year contract with the Oilers on June 3, 2018.[6]

Following three seasons within the Oilers organization, Lowe left the club as a free agent. Entering the delayed 2020–21 season, Lowe opted to continue his career in the AHL, securing a one-year contract with the San Diego Gulls, primary affiliate to the Anaheim Ducks, on January 11, 2021.[7]
