Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall has been suspended for Game 7 against the Lightning on Wednesday.

The league's Department of Player Safety announced the decision Tuesday night.

Red Wings GM Ken Holland and head coach Mike Babcock each took issue with the ruling.

"My only comment is I disagree with the decision," Holland said in a text to ESPN.

Babcock said he was surprised by the suspension but that "it doesn't matter what I think."
