One could not have scripted this moment any better.
As the New Jersey Devils hosted 'Hockey Fights Cancer' night at the Prudential Center on Friday, center Brian Boyle notched his second goal of the season off a brilliant rush by rookie defenseman Will Butcher.

Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia on Sept. 19 and returned to the lineup on Nov. 1 after missing the opening 10 games of the season.
Prior to the game, Boyle and his family participated in a ceremonial puck drop.
