Three players who did not automatically qualify for their names to be engraved on the Stanley Cup were engraved at the Devils' request:
*Steve Kelly†, played 10 playoff (4 conference final) games
*Steve Brule†, played one game in the conference finals.
*Ken Sutton†, joined the team at the trading deadline, from the minors. He played 6 regular season games, but was a healthy scratch for the playoffs.Deron Quint (D) who played 50 regular season games for Phoenix, and 4 games for New Jersey (joined in a March 7th trade forLyle Odelein ) was not engraved on the Stanley Cup, because New Jersey suspended him for not reporting to the minors for conditioning.ee also
