The most important shots taken by the Winnipeg Jets Tuesday night happened right after their game.

No, they didn’t result in any scoring chances or goals, but team officials are hoping they allow players to remain on the ice — rather than in isolation.

Players were offered voluntary immunization for mumps after they left the ice against the Minnesota Wild, who are currently battling an outbreak that has already sidelined two key forwards and an assistant coach.
