Nearly 13 months after his chronic myeloid leukemia diagnosis, Devils forward Brian Boyle said his cancer is in remission.

The 33-year-old veteran told NHL.com his latest tests show the disease is currently clear from his blood work, with no leukemia cells present.

At the start of this season's training camp in September, Boyle said he felt miles better physically compared to the year prior, when he was originally diagnosed.

He was first diagnosed with the disease following his medical exam at the start of training camp in September of 2017, and he was held out of the Devils' lineup while he started his treatment, which involved oral medication.

Boyle was still taking the medication at the start of the 2018-19 season, and he will continue to do so once per month while doctors monitor his status.

The prognosis last year was good, and he missed just the team's 10 games while regaining strength and preparing for the game action. Boyle finished with 13 goals and 10 assists during 69 games in his first season with the Devils. He has three goals and one assist while playing in all six games for the Devils so far in 2018-19.

He won the 2018 Masterton Trophy following his play while battling the disease.
