This year's line combinations

Of course, this will change repeatedly thoughout the preseason and regular season, but as of today, these are the forward lines and defensive tandems for the Red Wings, according to coach Mike Babcock:

Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom
Hudler-Zetterberg-Samuelsson
Cleary-Filppula-Draper
Drake-Kopecky-Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski
Kronwall-Lilja
Lebda-Chelios

Note the move of Kris Draper -- one of the league's best faceoff men -- over to the right side on Filppula's line. Tomas Kopecky is centering a checking line and Jiri Hudler is on one of the top two scoring lines.
