DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings have some continuity and chemistry with their line combinations, and they’re on a roll.

So there’s no need to change anything for their playoff opener in Phoenix on Wednesday, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.

Babcock said he will stick with the same lineup for Game 1, even though he has more options after several players were recalled Monday from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

“Normally, what I’ve done here in the past is when we got in (clinched a playoff spot) I changed all the lines just to make sure we’re ready for things we got to do,’’ Babcock said. “I haven’t done as much of that because we need to be on a roll. But it’s like anything, lines are there to be kept together if they’re going good and there to be changed if they’re not.’’

Gritty forward Justin Abdelkader won’t play in Game 1, but he eventually might wind up back in the fourth-line center spot. Enforcer Brad May also was recalled from the Griffins and will practice with the team and compete for a spot in the lineup.

The top two lines (Johan Franzen-Pavel Datsyuk-Tomas Holmstrom and Valtteri Filppula-Henrik Zetterberg-Todd Bertuzzi) have been dominant in various games in recent weeks. Dan Cleary’s return from a pulled groin has provided an offensive spark to an already fast and gritty third line with Darren Helm and Patrick Eaves.

The fourth line, Drew Miller centering Kris Draper and Jason Williams, must play better, or it likely will undergo changes.

“We don’t have as much depth in scoring, that’s why it’s important that Cleary continues to play on the third line, and we need Miller and Eaves and Helm to continue to chip in,’’ Babcock said. “If they can chip in, then we have enough (offense).’’

Defenseman Brian Rafalski said keeping the lines together the last few weeks “has been important for us to get some cohesiveness.’’

Bertuzzi agreed.

“I think it’s knowing where everyone is at, everyone understands where they got to be,’’ Bertuzzi said. “It’s made a difference as far as everyone being comfortable with each other.’’

The club also recalled forwards Mattias Ritola and Jan Mursak, defensemen Doug Janik and Jakub Kindl and goaltender Daniel Larsson. They are the “Black Aces’’ and will practice after the regular group is done. Mursak will join the team after competing for Slovenia in the B Pool of the World Championships.
