Boyle, Gilroy appear to be odd men out
The surprise here is the big guy, not Gilroy.
Boyle played 13:24, blocked three shots and was credited with three hits on the Island
What we don't know if he's healthy or not. He was out there in warmups, just not on any line. Boyle had played in 10 straight, with zero points. This will be Gilroy's fifth consecutive scratch.
