There's still no timetable for Boyle's return to game action.
Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia last month.
CML is a form of cancer that starts in the bone marrow and is treatable with medication, according to the American Cancer Society.
The 32-year-old forward joined the Devils as a free agent over the summer.
