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

“I wouldn’t say nerves,” said Jones, speaking for himself and perhaps for the team as well. “There’s expectation, of course. There’s expectation in all sports, no matter what position you’re in.

The Fire will continue to have Heineken as its major beer sponsor, he said.
