As a result of the suspension, the Red Wings are approaching their most important game of the season to date without their best defenseman.
"It's the playoffs," Babcock said . "In the series except for Game 2 and Game, this was 6 tonight, there was no space, period."
Ben Bishop made 22 saves for the Lightning, although it was his counterpart, Petr Mrazek, who had the stop of the night — and maybe the season.
"We went down [to Tampa] and played a really solid game," Kronwall said after the Game 6 loss. "That's what we've got to do again."
Tyler Johnson and Jason Garrison scored in the first period, and Johnson added another goal in the second to give the Lightning a 3-0 lead.

"Ok, if you're trying to get out the "coach is whining for penalties" that's not it at all. It's the playoffs, this stuff happens" Cooper said.
"The old saying is, 'If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying,'" Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. "They do it to a 'T.'"
Petr Mrazek stopped 28 shots and the Detroit Red Wings rebounded from a disappointing loss to shut down the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 on Saturday night and take a 3-2 series lead.
Mike Babcock does not usually address his team after games. The Detroit Red Wings head coach deviated from that norm Thursday night.
The Red Wings led 2-0 in the third period before Johnson scored with 5:26 remaining. He then assisted on Ondrej Palat's tying goal 77 seconds later.
Joakim Andersson's shot bounced routinely off Bishop and up in the air, but when Bishop tried to bat the puck away with his stick, he instead accidentally knocked it back off the crossbar.

Who has better taste in girlfriends -- Red Wings players or Lightning players?
The home crowd, of course, loved Abdelkader's defense of his teammate, and proud chants of "Abby! Abby! Abby! Abby!" filled the arena.
Mrazek does not deny that there is pressure to perform, but if it bothers him, he is not admitting it.
Detroit expects to have left wing Justin Abdelkader back from a hand injury — he hasn't played since April 4.
"I don't think people really know how much he means to this team," Kronwall said Monday after the team practiced at Joe Louis Arena.
Todd McLellan is out after seven years as coach of the San Jose Sharks.
Babcock suggested grit, not talent, will take the Red Wings further in the playoffs.
"I mean I just watched the guys play, and I just thought that Mrazek would give us the best way to start the series."
Seven players made donations based on personal statistics achieved over the course of the season, generating a total donation of $24,975 to seven Metro Detroit-based nonprofits.
I'm pretty sure that's a cheep shot from the Lightning's Ryan Callahan on the Red Wings' Darren Helm.
Steve Yzerman concedes it feels odd to be facing the Detroit Red Wings in the opening round of the playoffs.
