Red Wings' captain Nicklas Lidstrom injured his ankle in the first period on Friday night and did not return in the team's game against the Predators. "The ankle is swollen, and we'll see how it feels tomorrow," Lidstrom said after the game. "Coming out for the second period I couldn't really skate and push off with that foot, my left foot. "One of their defenseman took a shot and hit me in front of the net. It was sore after it happened. I wanted to go out there again and see how it felt, but I couldn't really push off or pivot."
