DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings' Brian Rafalski did not practice Monday, but coach Mike Babcock said the defenseman will play in Game 4 of the team's Western Conference quarterfinal playoff series against Phoenix on Tuesday.



Rafalski apparently hurt his back in Game 3, although he came back to finish the game. Babcock said Rafalski took a "maintenance day'' Monday.



"He'll play (Tuesday),'' Babcock said.



Babcock said he does not anticipate any lineup changes.



"Not at this point,'' Babcock said. "But the good thing about being the coach is you have the right to change your mind.''



With his team trailing the series 2-1, Babcock said it boils down to his players needing to outwork the Coyotes.



"You can talk about skill level all you want,'' Babcock said. "In the end, normally, we have real good structure and we out-determine you. We just keep on coming. So far in this series, they've done a better job of that part of the game than we have.''



Jonathan Ericsson was paired with Nicklas Lidstrom in practice, and Brett Lebda took Ericsson's place on the third pairing with Andreas Lilja.



Here are the lines they practiced with:



Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom (Williams working in)

Filppula-Zetterberg-Bertuzzi

Cleary-Helm-Miller

Draper-Abdelkader-Eaves (May working in)



Lidstrom-Ericsson
