Hosting the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday evening, the Texas Rangers held a pregame moment of silence for the Humboldt Broncos, a Canadian junior hockey team that was involved in a bus crash that killed multiple people Friday.

The Broncos' bus, carrying 29 people, was involved in a crash with a transport truck on Friday while en route to a Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoff game. As of Saturday evening, 15 deaths had been confirmed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Marcus Stroman, the starting pitcher for the Blue Jays on Saturday, also wrote "Humboldt Broncos" on his hat, along with "SK" - the abbreviation for the province of Saskatchewan where the Broncos play.

A non-playoff season for the New York Rangers isn't shaking Alain Vigneault's confidence.

The head coach fully expects to be back behind the bench next season, despite not yet discussing his situation with general manager Jeff Gorton or president Glenn Sather.

"Yes, I think my staff is the right staff for the job," Vigneault said after Saturday's season-ending 5-0 loss to Philadelphia, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

"This is just my opinion but I think one of the strongest assets of this organization is its coaching staff," he continued. "They're experienced, we've been able to do it with veteran players, we've been able to do it with younger players ... Our record, it's pretty good with younger and older players."

Prior to this season, the Rangers had advanced to the playoffs every year since 2011, and Vigneault has been behind the bench since 2013.

He led the team to a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2014 and the Presidents' Trophy in 2015, but the Rangers will finish this season in last place in the Metropolitan Division.

The Philadelphia Flyers clinched the final available playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a win Saturday over the New York Rangers, thereby eliminating the Florida Panthers from contention.

The Flyers needed a single point to ensure they could not be caught by the Panthers, and proceeded to beat the Rangers 5-0 on the strength Claude Giroux's first career regular-season hat trick.

Philadelphia returns to the postseason after missing out a year ago. It last qualified in 2016, losing in six games to Washington in the opening round.

The Metrpolitan Division seeding remains up in the air, but the win bumped Philadelphia to third place, thereby setting up a potential first-round date with the rival Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets will support and honor those affected by the tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team with a series of initiatives at their game Saturday night.

The Broncos, a junior hockey team based in Saskatchewan, were traveling in their bus Friday when a transport truck T-boned the vehicle. The crash has now left 15 dead.

In addition to a moment of silence before the game, the Jets and Blackhawks will wear "Broncos" on the back of their jerseys in place of individual names.

Here's a look at Winnipeg's threads:

All proceeds raised from the 50/50 raffle will be donated to the Broncos as well. The Jets, Blackhawks, and the NHL will each donate $25,000 to "sweeten the pot," according to the release.

Humboldt, Saskatchewan is located about seven hours west of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the two teams will meet Saturday.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux became the third player in the league this season to reach 100 points, joining Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov.

In doing so, Giroux became the first Flyers player to reach the century mark since Eric Lindros racked up 115 points in 1995-96.

Perhaps more importantly, Giroux's two-goal performance thus far has the Flyers up 4-0 in a game in which they can clinch a postseason berth.

RCMP assistant commissioner Curtis Zablocki also spoke at the press conference, where he noted that a full-scale investigation into the crash is underway and that updates will be provided.

"It's too early to comment on the cause of the collision and we will continue to provide updates," Zablocki said, according to Colette Derworiz of the Canadian Press.
