from Bryan Burns of the Lightning website,

In a Covid world, media are not allowed in locker rooms. Heck, we're not even allowed close to the ice. Instead, media are sectioned off in the last five rows of the promenade (lower) level at AMALIE Arena, required to wear masks while inside the arena and told to socially distancing themselves from other reporters.

For interviews, media log into a Zoom meeting room. Inside the Lightning locker room corridor, in one of the unused performer rooms, a computer with a webcam is set up on a table in front of a backdrop. One by one, Lightning players and coaches are ushered into the room to sit in front of the video camera and answer questions from the media, who are stationed across the ice on the AMALIE Arena concourse between sections 118-120.

Each reporter has their own video feed from their laptop or phone which the player or coach can see displayed on their end of the Zoom call. Media submit their questions via the chat feature. Lightning senior director of broadcasting, programming and communications Brian Breseman facilitates the calls from a remote location, reading the questions as they come in then calling on the reporter to ask their questions once it's their turn.
