Ryan Strome and Brett Howden fill void at center for Rangers

Those discussions about Filip Chytil possibly coming up from AHL Hartford might have to wait for another day.

As the 20-year-old center was stuffing the stat sheet with the Wolf Pack, the varsity squad finally got things on track when the Rangers broke a five-game winless streak with a 6-2 victory over the Sabres on Thursday night at the Garden.

Chytil, who has three goals and eight points through the team’s first six games going into Hartford’s busy three-game weekend, was given the first crack at the role of second-line center in training camp. But he couldn’t secure that spot and it seemed like the team’s biggest void.
