No place like home for Phaneuf

SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. - This will be a homecoming for Dion Phaneuf.

Yes, this small city of 14,500 is thrilled to host an NHL exhibition game between the New Jersey Devils and the Ottawa Senators, but the most excited person in the Credit Union Centre may be wearing a No. 2 jersey with the name Phaneuf on the back.

As the Senators arrived Sunday for rest and relaxation before facing the Devils Monday night in the Kraft Hockeyville Game being held at the 4,228-seat building, the 32-year-old Phaneuf is buoyed to play in front of family and friends in the place he makes his off-season home with his wife Elisha Cuthbert.
