Brian Boyle replaces Taylor Hall on Metropolitan Division All-Star roster
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#3EA7P)
Brian Boyle is an All-Star.
The veteran New Jersey Devils forward will replace teammate Taylor Hall at the All-Star festivities this weekend.
Hall will sit out due to a right thumb injury.
Boyle has been one of the best stories of the NHL season, returning to action Nov. 1 after being diagnosed with leukemia. He has 11 goals and 17 points in 38 games.
This will be Boyle's first All-Star appearance in his 11-year career.
