Per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press, Boyle has joined NHL Network as a studio analyst, indicating he's officially retired from the NHL.

EDGE Analysis

Boyle will retire having collected 141 goals, 252 points, 615 PIM and 1,783 hits through 871 career appearances over 14 seasons split between the Kings, Rangers, Lightning, Maple Leafs, Devils, Predators, Panthers and Penguins.

Boyle underwent surgery on his left knee Monday and is facing a six-week recovery timeline.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Boyle (lower body) is week-to-week and will not play in Game 7 against the Rangers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Even if the Penguins are able to advance to Round 2, Boyle may not be able to suit up given his new return timeline. The veteran managed a pair of assists across 10:15 of average ice time in the first six games of the series before suffering the injury Friday.

Boyle is being evaluated for a lower-body injury after leaving early during Friday's loss to the Rangers, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyle left after registering just 1:25 of ice time during the first period. The 37-year-old notched two assists while averaging 12:01 of ice time through the first five games of the series. An update on his status should be available before Game 7 on Sunday.

Boyle logged an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Rangers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Boyle logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

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 (personal) was activated off the non-roster list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyle will presumably be available for Wednesday's matchup with St. Louis after missing three games due to personal reasons. The 37-year-old vet has picked up three goals through 19 contests this season.

Boyle (lower body) won't play Sunday versus San Jose, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boyle will miss a third straight contest Sunday and remains without a definite timetable for his return. Another update on the 37-year-old vet should surface once he's cleared to rejoin the lineup.
