Playing career

He began playing professionally with Södertälje SK in the Elitserien during the 2010–11 Elitserien season and 2011 Kvalserien, before moving to Modo Hockey for a solitary season in 2013–14.[1]

On 16 April 2014, Lööv was signed to a three-year entry level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.[2]

On 18 February 2016, following an injury to Matt Hunwick, Lööv was recalled by the Leafs on an emergency basis, and made his NHL debut the same night, in a game against the New York Rangers. Lööv recorded his first career NHL point, an assist on a goal scored by P. A. Parenteau, less than 5 minutes into the game.[3]

Lööv would return to the Marlies the next season, and play there until a trade on 18 February 2017 (less than two weeks before the NHL trade deadline) sent him to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Sergey Kalinin.[4] Lööv would finish out the season with the Devils' AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils.

Lööv re-signed with the Devils on 9 May 2017, agreeing to a one-year, two-way contract worth $650,000.[5] He was assigned to begin the 2017–18 season, with inaugural affiliate, the Binghamton Devils. On 8 February 2018, the New Jersey Devils traded Lööv to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Christoph Bertschy and Mario Lucia.[6]

On 25 May 2018, Lööv signed with Jokerit of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[7]
