    Michael Cammalleri and the Montreal Canadiens finally solved Michael Leighton.

    Cammalleri scored in the first period to end Montreal’s two-game drought against Leighton, leading the Canadiens to a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final on Thursday night.

    Tom Pyatt(notes) and Dominic Moore had a goal and assist apiece for Montreal, which earned its first win in the series. Brian Gionta and Marc-Andre Bergeron(notes) also scored as Leighton’s shutout streak was snapped at 172:05.

    “It’s a big deal for us, don’t get me wrong,” Cammalleri said. “But for us, we like the way we play, and we thought the goals were going to come.”

    Philadelphia’s Simon Gagne(notes) foiled Jaroslav Halak’s shutout bid by scoring 8:22 into the third period. Leighton stopped 33 shots.
