1. A deflector assembly for a combustor defining an operational fluid flow, the deflector assembly comprising:
an upstream surface and a downstream surface opposite the upstream surface;
one or more fastening mechanisms each extending through the deflector assembly;
one or more recessed portions receding from the downstream surface, wherein the one or more fastening mechanisms extend from the one or more recessed portions such that the one or more fastening mechanisms are retracted with respect to the downstream surface; and
one or more cooling holes extending through the deflector assembly from the upstream surface to the downstream surface, the one or more cooling holes extending through the one or more recessed portions and located about the one or more fastening mechanisms to operably direct cooling air about the one or more fastening mechanisms at the downstream surface.
