New Jersey Devils C Brian Boyle collects hat trick on cancer night (Highlights)

The reason sports are great is due to one unexplainable reason. Every so often, a non-fictitious script is written in which Hollywood couldn’t conjure up if it had all the time in the world.

Monday night in Pittsburgh dared to dream up such a script when New Jersey Devils center Brian Boyle recorded his first NHL hat trick on Hockey Fights Cancer night.

Boyle tallied three goals, his fourth, fifth and sixth of the season, in his team’s impressive 5-1 road victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Amazing.

New Jersey Devil Brian Boyle was diagnosed with leukemia last year.
