Devils' Boyle cried after scoring 1st goal since leukemia diagnosis

Emotions ran high for New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle after scoring his first goal since being diagnosed with myeloid leukemia back in September.

In an interview during the first intermission, Boyle admitted that he cried shortly after scoring against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

Boyle was clearly choked up during the interview as well.

A cancer diagnosis can cause so much uncertainty to run through a person's mind; for Boyle to fight back and score Thursday was truly a special moment.
