Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in September, at which time the Devils’ team doctor said the 32-year-old centreman could be treated with medication, according to the Associated Press.
The former Toronto Maple Leaf signed a two-year, $5.5-million deal with the Devils in July, but hadn’t been able to suit up for his new club.
Boyle posted 13 goals and 25 points during the 2016-17 campaign, splitting time between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning. He enters 2017-18 with career totals of 93 goals and 169 points in 624 appearances.
