MONTREAL -- Mike Cammalleri had a penalty-shot goal and then had a moral victory in the first fight of his career to help the Montreal Canadiens snap a three-game losing with a 4-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
Cammalleri grabbed the puck on a turnover by Boston forward Milan Lucic in the first minute of play and sped off on a clear path to the Boston net as fans were still making their way to their seats at the Bell Centre.
He was interfered with and unable to get a shot off and was awarded a penalty shot. Cammalleri beat Bruins goalie Tim Thomas to the stick side at 1:04 to give Montreal a lead it would never lose on what was the first shot on goal by either team.
The Canadiens were nursing a 3-2 second-period lead when Cammalleri and Boston's David Krejci collided along the boards in Boston's end. After they traded words, the gloves came off and they taunted each other in a circle dance before they exchanged blows.
