COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Detroit Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom will not play tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena (7 p.m., Fox Sports Net Detroit) due to a swollen ankle from Saturday's game, when he was hit by the puck.

The team has recalled Doug Janik from the Grand Rapids Griffins. He will make his Red Wings season debut tonight. Kyle Quincey (groin) also is out and listed as day-to-day. Rookie Brendan Smith was recalled from Grand Rapids on Monday to replace Quincey.

“Good opportunity, find out what kind of depth we have,'' coach Mike Babcock said. "We got to get to work.''

Lidstrom said on Monday that X-rays taken after Saturday's game and again on Monday showed no fractures. He said he is day-to-day and hopes to play Friday at home against Minnesota.

The incredibly durable Lidstrom has missed only 36 out of a possible 1,848 games, regular season and playoffs, during his 20-year career.

This will be only the second game Lidstrom has missed this season. He had the flu and sat out the 7-2 loss at Montreal on Jan. 25.

“If I'm not mistaken ... it was 4-0 after about four minutes, right?'' Babcock said. "I don't think we need to (relive) that.''

Here are the lines they are skating with:

Filppula-Zetterberg-Hudler

Cleary-Abdelkader-Bertuzzi

Miller-Helm-Franzen

Holmstrom-Emmerton-Mursak

On defense, it'll be:

Kronwall-Smith

Kindl-Stuart

Janik-White

MacDonald (starting)

Howard

Babcock is keeping intact the Filppula-Zetterberg-Hudler line, which accounted for all three goals in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Colorado.

Johan Franzen, who has gone four games without a point and hasn't been skating well, was moved to the third line, with Darren Helm and Drew Miller.

“The key is we need everybody playing at their best,'' Babcock said, when asked about Franzen.

Asked if the move can get him to start skating better, Franzen said, “They (third line) have been great for a long time now. I hope I don't slow them down too much. Hopefully they can keep doing what they've been doing.''
