TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Just months after winning the Stanley Cup, officials with the Tampa Bay Lightning says they’re eliminating 30 positions in a sign that even winning a championship doesn’t spare a team from the effects of the coronavirus.  Team officials said Monday that the positions were across the company and effective immediately. The layoffs represent less than 10% of the team’s workforce.  Because the National Hockey League’s postseason was played in bubbles in Canada, the team didn’t earn any revenue from the playoffs.
