If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That appeared to be Patrik Laine's thought process on the first two shootout attempts of his NHL career, as this side-by-side GIF illustrates.

Laine scored on a slick move Tuesday in an eventual shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings, using the exact same move he successfully pulled off in a shootout win over the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 13.

The Winnipeg Jets rookie scored a goal and added an assist in regulation Tuesday, padding his impressive early-season totals.

Laine is tied with Sidney Crosby for the league lead with 17 goals (albeit in nine additional games played), and the 18-year-old leads all rookies in both goals and points early on.
