RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes finally seem to have figured things out. Even if once again, its almost certainly too late to earn a playoff berth. John-Michael Liles had a goal and two assists in Carolinas 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. Liles, Eric Staal and Justin Faulk each scored during a run of three goals in a 4:36 span of the second period. "Its a matter of all getting on the same page," Liles said, "and I think tonight we were all pretty well on the same page." Riley Nash added a key late goal and Chris Terry had his first two NHL assists to help the Hurricanes win their second straight game and earn points in their fifth straight. Even so, the Hurricanes remain a long shot to make the playoffs for just the second time since they won the 2006 Stanley Cup. They entered with 77 points, six behind Columbus, and with five games left, they still need a lot of help. "Its just a matter of knowing whats successful for us, and when you have success, you can point your finger at, hey, this is why we won that game," Liles said. "Try and repeat it for the following game, and try and get on a roll. For us, its a matter of believing in that system and that reason why weve been winning games, and weve been coming out on the right end of it." Carolina has the leagues second-worst power play but scored twice with the man advantage. "You take a couple penalties, they score back to back on power plays and anytime that happens, its not a good thing," defenceman Alex Goligoski said. "We got behind the 8-ball there, got a push at the end of the second, but when you get down 3-0, its tough." Anton Khudobin made 33 saves in Carolinas first win over the Stars since 2009. "I had a couple saves, and we just started playing (well) and got the result," Khudobin said. Tyler Seguin scored for Dallas, which entered occupying the Western Conferences last wild-card spot but had its three-game winning streak snapped. The Stars were coming off a 5-0 pounding of Washington and had won five of six. Kari Lehtonen made 13 saves but was pulled after allowing three goals. Tim Thomas took over and finished with 15 stops. Seguin pulled the Stars to 3-1 by beating Khudobin high to his glove side at 9:44 of the second. But Khudobin made the save of the night roughly 30 seconds into the third when he slid across the net to stop Alex Chiasson. "We could have been right back in the game," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said. "We didnt finish." Nash then restored the Hurricanes three-goal lead when he blasted a rebound past Thomas with 12:20 left. Carolina skated in this one without forwards Alexander Semin, who was out with an illness, and Jiri Tlusty, who has an upper-body injury. And their offensive flurry started with a fluke. Liles -- who had his first three-point night since 2011 -- fired a shot that richocheted off Staals left skate, popped high into the air and fluttered behind Lehtonen at 2:30 of the second. That gave the Carolina captain goals in consecutive games but just his third since March 1. "We always say, Shoot the puck," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "This time of year, it doesnt have to be highlight goals. Just get it there and you never know whats going to happen." There wasnt anything cheap about the Hurricanes second goal: Faulk took a feed from Liles behind the left circle and blistered the puck past Lehtonen at 4:08. Liles capped his first multi-point game since coming to Carolina in a New Years Day trade with Toronto by beating Lehtonen with a quick wrist shot from the left circle to make it 3-0 at 7:05. "I wouldnt say that Ive been playing bad hockey -- I think that Ive been contributing," Liles said. "Maybe the points arent there. ... You play in the league long enough, its going to happen." NOTES: Seguin has points in seven of his last eight road games. ... The Hurricanes recalled Zach Boychuk from their AHL affiliate in Charlotte to help replace Semin and Tlusty. ... D Andrej Sekera (lower body) was a late scratch for Carolina. ... Dallas LW Ray Whitney suffered a lower-body injury in the first period and did not return.

Material has improved, courses are better prepared and the professionalized sport has become more competitive.Here is a closer look at the statistics behind Vonns and Moser-Proells shared record.ROAD TO GLORY: Vonn matched the record in her 15th season on the circuit and 332nd World Cup race. It took Moser-Proell only 11 seasons and 174 starts to get to 62 wins. Vonn has missed many races due to injury, most notably in the past two years. The American was already on 59 wins when she badly hurt her knee at the 2013 world championships.Moser-Proell also missed a full season — voluntarily. She skipped the 1975-76 season to start a pub in her native village of Kleinarl, but returned the following year. Moser-Proell reached the podium in 65 per cent of all races she competed in — compared to 32 per cent for Vonn — and her number of wins would have likely been substantially higher if she hadnt retired at age 26 after the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980.SLOW STARTER: Compared to Moser-Proell, Vonns career got off to a slow start. Moser-Proell was just under 16 when she made her World Cup debut in January 1969 at a downhill in St. Gervais, France — and finished second. She needed only seven races to record her first win in January 1970 at a giant slalom in Maribor, Slovenia.Vonn was 16 in her first race in December 2000 — a slalom in Park City, Utah. She needed 46 races for her first podium at a downhill in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy, in January 2004, and landded her maiden victory in her 61st race at Lake Louise, Alberta, in December 2004.dddddddddddd Vonn was 20 when she won her first race; at the same age, Moser-Proell had 27 wins.DISCIPLINE MATTERS: Though they share the same total of wins, Moser-Proell is ahead of Vonn in four of the five Alpine disciplines — 36-32 in downhill, 16-3 in giant slalom, 3-2 in slalom, and 7-5 in combined events. Vonn compensates for the deficit with 20 wins in super-G, a discipline that was only introduced two years after Moser-Proell ended her career in 1980.NEXT RECORD: Apart from moving to 63 victories for the outright lead in womens World Cup wins, Vonn can chase three more records held by Moser-Proell. First, the American needs four more downhill wins to match the Austrians mark of 36. Also, Vonn has to win two more overall titles to equal Moser-Proells six. Finally, Moser-Proell is the only skier to have won five overall titles in a row, from 1971-75. Vonn has already been close to five straight overall titles. After winning three straight from 2008-2010, she was beaten by Germanys Maria Hoefl-Riesch by just three points after the last race of the season was cancelled in 2011, before winning her fourth overall in five years in 2012.FRIENDS FOREVER: Moser-Proell has always hoped her record would be broken one day. And shes glad Vonn is the one whos doing it. The two have met several times and get along well. In a recent documentary on Austrian national TV, Moser-Proell said about Vonn: I like Lindsey Vonn for her uncomplicated character. And we dont need to discuss her skiing — shes just perfect. And Vonn about Moser-Proell: Shes the greatest athlete in the history of ski racing.
