Penguins' Brian Boyle: Has knee procedure Monday
Boyle underwent surgery on his left knee Monday and is facing a six-week recovery timeline.
Boyle was labeled week-to-week by the team ahead of Game 7 versus the Rangers on Sunday, so his procedure shouldn't come as a surprise. The veteran center made 66 appearances for the Penguins during the regular season this year in which he registered 11 goals, 10 assists and 87 shots despite averaging just 10:47 of ice time. If Boyle wants to extend his NHL career, he should be able to secure a contract during the offseason, possibly with the Penguins.

Penguins' Brian Boyle: Provides helper Saturday
Boyle logged an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers in Game 3.
Boyle set up the second of Evan Rodrigues' pair of goals in the first period after forcing a turnover. This was Boyle's first point in three playoff contests this year, and he's added six blocked shots and four shots on net from a fourth-line role. The 37-year-old had 21 points in 66 regular-season outings, but he's more of a defensive presence than a scoring threat.

Boyle scored a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
He opened the scoring in the first period, then helped set up Sidney Crosby for the game-winner in the third. Boyle's fourth-line role doesn't offer him much offensive upside, and on the season he has seven goals and 12 points through 46 games.

Boyle scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Devils.
Boyle and Mike Matheson assisted on each other's goals Sunday to provide the Penguins with some scoring depth. The 37-year-old Boyle isn't one to produce much offense at this point in his career -- this was his first multi-point effort of the season. The center has six goals, two assists, 52 shots on net, 46 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 36 contests.

Penguins' Brian Boyle: Generates helper Monday
Boyle logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Boyle set up Teddy Blueger's second-period tally that got the Penguins within a goal. This was Boyle's first assist of the season to go with four goals in 26 appearances. The 37-year-old has added 34 shots on net and 30 hits while mainly playing in a fourth-line role, so he's not likely to add enough to help in fantasy.

Boyle is no longer dealing with an upper-body injury and instead has been sitting as a healthy scratch, Dave Molinari of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
