Center Kevin Lynch Returns from AHL

ESTERO, FL – The Florida Everblades announced Wednesday that forward Kevin Lynch has been returned to the team on loan from the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.

Lynch, 24, was scoreless with two penalty minutes in five appearances with the Moose.  He returns to the Everblades where he has recorded a balanced eight points (4g, 4a) in ten games played.  Last season, Lynch posted seven points (2g, 5a) in 11 games played with the Everblades, and four points (3g, 1a) in 53 appearances with the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.

The 6-1, 198-pound center recorded 35 points in 67 ECHL games split between the Toledo Walleye (28 points in 53 games) and the Evansville IceMen (7 points in 14 games) during the 2013-14 season.

Lynch totaled 72 points during his four-year collegiate career at the University of Michigan from 2009-2013, which includes a career best 27-point campaign with the Wolverines during the 2012-13 season.    In addition, Lynch registered 48 points (24g, 24a) with the U.S. National Under-18 Team in 2008-09.

The Grosse Pointe, Michigan native is a second round draft selection (56th overall) of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
