There's still no timetable for Boyle's return to game action.

Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia last month.

CML is a form of cancer that starts in the bone marrow and is treatable with medication, according to the American Cancer Society.

The 32-year-old forward joined the Devils as a free agent over the summer.
