Jason Arnott needed a place to stay after being traded by the Oilers to New Jersey and Stevens, the Devils' captain, gave him one for two months. It turned out to be a learning expe rience. Arnott got a friend, ate the right foods and learned how to make a com mitment to the sport he loved, just by watching Stevens. The lessons learned could result in a Stanley Cup for the Devils. That's how much of a contribution Arnott is making to the Devils' run to ward hockey's top prize. Only Dallas' Brett Hull and Mike Modano have scored more points than Arnott (seven goals, 12 assists) in the postseason. Three of those goals have come in the Cup finals against Dallas. None was bigger than the one he scored late in the first period of Game 3 to tie Sat urday's game. It took the momentum away from Dallas and helped New Jersey to a 2-1 win and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. That's the type of play the Oilers al ways expected from Arnott, who was the seventh pick overall in the 1993 NHL Draft. The 6-foot-4,225-pounder scored 33 goals as a rookie but he nev er had more than 28 in any one season after that and it made him a target of the fans in Edmonton. The Oilers traded him and de fenseman Bryan Muir to New Jersey in January 1998 for Bill Guerin and Valeri Zelepukin. Arnott only had five goals in 35 games for Edmonton when he was traded and he added another five in 35 with New Jersey that year. However, living with Stevens and his wife, Donna, got the then 23-year- old Arnott refocused and also im proved his practice habits, learning to work as hard as his landlord. "I remember late night staying up and talking with them just about life, nothing about hockey," Arnott said. "It was nice. At that time when I got traded it was tough. They made me feel right at home. It was a family away from home." "I had a chance to talk to them about personal stuff, personal feel ings," Arnott added. "It was like sitting in the kitchen taking to my mom. It was definitely helpful." A nutrition freak, Stevens also helped Arnott with his diet. "Single guys always eat whatever they want," Arnott said. "I wasn't eat ing all that bad but I definitely ate a lot *7.00 per hour!
