It was a bitter sweet day prior to the New Jersey Devils game against the New York Islanders. The team announced that Brian Boyle would be returning to the lineup in time for Hockey Fights Cancer night. Of course, you know why that was so important. Boyle’s cancer fight has been a motivating factor for this team. However, to make room for Boyle, the Devils placed Joey Anderson on injured reserve.
The additions of Anderson and Brett Seney provided a spark to the team’s bottom six they really needed. Seney came into the lineup at the beginning of the month.
