New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle will make his season debut Wednesday night versus the Vancouver Canucks, head coach John Hynes announced.

Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a form of bone marrow cancer treatable with medication, in September, and begun to participate in practices with his new club Oct. 22.

The 32-year-old signed a two-year contract with the Devils this past offseason.
