How Rangers’ second line plans to break early funk

Ryan Strome’s unit hasn’t had the puck enough and the second-line center knows it.

“Off the first two games, I definitely think I and our line can be better,” Strome told The Post following Thursday’s practice. “When I’m successful, I have the puck but so far I’ve been chasing the puck too much and because we’re doing too much scrambling as a line, we’re not getting enough shots and opportunities from prime areas.

“The time we’ve spent together through these practices this week should be a help. I think we’re developing some chemistry. It’s not like we’re just an up-and-down, blue-collar line.
