Rotowire
Keeper, as suspected, suffered a broken leg in training camp and will be out indefinitely, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.
Keeper was far from a lock to make the Opening Night roster, but a strong showing in training camp could have forced the issue.

Panthers' Brady Keeper: Dropped to minors
Rotowire
Keeper was sent down to AHL Springfield on Tuesday.
The fact that Keeper was reassigned this early into training camp doesn't bode well for his chances of earning NHL ice time in 2019-20. The blueliner made his debut for the Panthers last year, but logged a mere 12:40 of ice time. It will now be a battle between Josh Brown and Ian McCoshen for a spot on the 23-man roster with Keeper out of the mix.
