PITTSBURGH -- It played out like a script Hollywood would have immediately rejected.
Brian Boyle recording his first career hat trick, scoring three goals in a row -- all on Hockey Fights Cancer night, weeks after saying his cancer was in remission -- would have been too good to be true. But that's exactly what happened.
Boyle completed a natural hat trick, scoring three straight goals with one in the first period and two more in the second to propel the Devils to a 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday at PPG Paints Arena.
