Stephens helps Arnott
join hockey’s elite rani
of players in postseaso
[iy, June 5, 2000
DALLAS (AP) — A little more
than 2 1/2 years ago, Scott Stevens
didn't think much about offering an
extra room over his garage to a
mixed-up and disappointed young
man whose hockey career had taken
a nosedive in Edmonton.
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
