MONTREAL (AP) - Michael Cammalleri scored in the first period to end Montreal's two-game drought, leading the Canadiens to a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final.

Tom Pyatt 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 also scored as Michael Leighton's shutout streak was snapped at 172:05.

Playing their first home game in 10 days, the Canadiens outshot Philadelphia 28-13 in taking a 3-0 lead on Moore's goal midway through the second period.

The best-of-seven series resumes Saturday in Montreal.

Simon Gagne scored for the Flyers, who had won six straight, dating to their second-round series win over Boston.
