Shesterkin swallowed up a shot from Nino Niederreiter to kick off the second period and kept the puck out of the net on another sequence in which he lost his stick amid a bunch of traffic in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old netminder has said he always tries to just play his game, no matter how bright the lights of the stage are, but do these Game 7s feel any different for him?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA little shaky before game,\u201d Shesterkin said without the help of a translator. \u201cBut when I go to the ice, I try to forget about everything and try to keep focus on the puck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great, great feeling.

From then on, he said, he just tried to do his job and stop the puck.
