Line shake up: Miller up to third line

Stay connected for news and updates

Mike Babcock has made a change or two tonight's line-up. He already decided to put Justin Abdelkader in over Jason Williams

With Abdelkader in the game, Babcock moved Drew Miller up to the third line with Darren Helm and Dan Cleary, pushing Patrick Eaves down to the fourth line. Abdelkader's presence on the fourth line should be interesting to watch with his tendency to hit and grind, something the Wings didn't quite do enough of in the first game.

Per Ansar Khan of mlive.com:

Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom
Filppula-Zetterberg-Bertuzzi
Cleary-Helm-Miller
Draper-Abdelkader-Eaves

Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Stuart
Ericsson-Lilja

Howard (starting)

With Eaves on the fourth line with Draper and Abdelkader, the scoring is a bit more spread out. Miller on the third line could pay dividends for Detroit.
