The Seattle Kraken won just once on their five-game, post-All-Star break trip, a 4-3 victory on Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
They will try for the same result when the teams meet again Thursday night in Seattle.
The Kraken went 1-3-1 on the trip, though they did register points in the final two games, against the Flyers and in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
Jared McCann scored his team-leading 25th goal against the Jets, and goaltender Philipp Grubauer made 38 saves.
Against Philadelphia, Jaden Schwartz scored twice and Jordan Eberle added a goal and an assist.
Schwartz returned to the lineup during the trip after missing a month with an undisclosed injury, but the Kraken lost one of their leading point producers, Andre Burakovsky, to a lower-body injury.
Seattle rookie Matty Beniers also returned during the trip after a concussion caused him to miss the All-Star Game.
Beniers, who is pointless in his past 10 games, argued the Kraken haven’t been as bad as their recent record.
Philadelphia has been idle since the Sunday loss to Seattle in which Owen Tippett had a goal and an assist.
Flyers coach John Tortorella blamed the defeat not on a lack of intensity but a lack of speed.
The Flyers are 1-2-1 this month after a strong January (8-4-2) put them back in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference.
