ESTERO, Fla. - Florida Everblades defenseman Michael Downing has been loaned to the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors, Everblades head coach Brad Ralph announced on Friday.

Downing, 24, is in his fourth season as a pro and has suited up in 96 career contests at the AHL level. The Canton, Michigan, native has tabbed three goals and 15 points in his AHL career, while he has notched 11 points (2g-9a) in 23 career ECHL games.

Downing, who was under an NHL contract with the Florida Panthers for the first three years of his pro career, joined the Everblades in February of last season after being assigned from the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds by the Panthers. He recorded eight points (1g-7a) in 17 regular season games and then posted nine points (4g-5a) in 14 games in the 2019 Kelly Cup Playoffs.
