NEWARK, N.J. – Nearly 13 months after his cancer diagnosis, the Devils' Brian Boyle said his cancer is in remission.

The former Lightning forward said his latest blood tests Monday showed no leukemia cells.

"It's full molecular remission, and I feel really good," Boyle said Wednesday. "It was kind of the way the progression was happening the last few tests.

"The game plan has been working well, and now I'm just going to continue with it. It was good news, but it doesn't change a whole lot for me, and I'll continue taking the medicine.
