DETROIT -- Update following today's optional skate for the Detroit Red Wings:

Coach Mike Babcock confirmed that there is only one lineup change for Game 3 tonight vs. San Jose, as Kris Draper replaces Drew Miller. Mike Modano will be a healthy scratch for the third game in a row.

Here are the lines they will start the game with:

Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom

Bertuzzi-Zetterberg-Cleary

Abdelkader-Filppula-Hudler

Draper-Helm-Eaves

By splitting Datsyuk and Zetterberg and having Filppula center the third line, Babcock hopes for a more balanced attack.

“We got to find a way to win a game. Does this change anything? I'm not certain,'' Babcock said. "I think Pavel's been the most dangerous forward in the series, but I also think we need more from more forwards than we're getting. This just gives us a deeper 1-2-3.''

He is hoping Johan Franzen's sore ankle will be better after two days off, but it might be something that bothers him throughout the series.

"He's had a day off and he took minimal reps in practice (Tuesday), kind of get his hands going, didn't test (the ankle) at all,'' Babcock said. "He's got to test it today. When he got mad in the third period the other night (Game 2), it wasn't as sore. So maybe he should get mad right at the start tonight.''

Brian Rafalski hasn't skated the last couple of days because of his knee, but he said he's playing tonight.

"There was a little swelling in the knee. I'm staying off of it as much as I can before tonight,'' Rafalski said. "I'm 100-percent sure I'm playing tonight. We've got time to take advantage of it, so it'll be better for tonight.''

On defense, it'll be:

Lidstrom-Stuart

Ericsson-Rafalski

Kronwall-Salei

Howard

MacDonald
