Brian Boyle scored three times for his first career hat trick, and the New Jersey Devils beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 on Monday.
Boyle got his natural hat trick on "Hockey Fights Cancer" night in Pittsburgh. It included two power-play goals and two redirections in front of the net.
The 33-year-old Boyle was diagnosed with a form of bone marrow cancer at the beginning of training camp last season. He underwent treatment, returned to the lineup last November and won the NHL's Masterton Trophy, best exemplifying qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
Will Butcher had a goal and two assists for New Jersey, and Travis Zajac scored his fourth goal. Former Union College standout Keith Kinkaid made 35 saves.
Jamie Oleksiak scored for the Penguins.
