Jason Arnott and J.P. Dumont are friends away from the rink and have something very nice working on the ice for the Nashville Predators. Arnott scored two power-play goals off assists from Dumont and had an assist of his own, leading the Predators to a 3-1 victory over the Dallas Stars in their home opener Saturday.

Did you see me there?' Because next time when you get on the ice, he's going to be there."

Debbie and Larry Ward of Jefferson, Md., each get $75 from Debbie's company when they go for their annual physicals.
