Hawkins, 37, spent 14 years in Cleveland, the last five as the assistant GM. He joined the organization in 2008 as an advance scouting intern before transitioning in 2009 to a full-time position in professional scouting.

The Quinns’ new 14-room Lake Forest house brings him much closer to the Bears’ Halas Hall, which is several miles to the southwest. The 4,300-square-foot house has 5½ bathrooms, two fireplaces, an open floor plan, 10-foot ceilings on the first floor, a family room with custom built-ins, a first-floor primary bedroom suite and a finished 3,000-square-foot basement with a second kitchen and a wet bar. The house also has a slate roof, copper gutters, a bluestone entry, a front walk with brick pavers, a brick paver patio and a heated, three-car garage. It sits on a 0.57-acre property.

On Wednesday night, Fleury faced six shots, but he and the Hawks shut down all four of the Avalanche’s power-play opportunities.

The Cincinnati Bengals certainly didn’t have answers. In the Packers’ 25-22 overtime win Sunday, Adams turned 16 targets into 11 catches, 206 yards and a touchdown. Before the game, Adams said he told his wife and at least one cousin he was about to have a career day. After the win, he felt satisfied with that projection.
