The Kings have acquired veteran defenseman Dion Phaneuf in a four-player trade Tuesday night with the Senators.

The Kings also get forward Nate Thompson in the deal, with veteran winger Marian Gaborik and center Nick Shore moving back to the Senators.

"Dion brings to our club a great deal of experience and leadership," Rob Blake, the Kings' vice president and general manager, said in announcing the deal. "He also plays with a physical edge, which complements our lineup well."
