Cammalleri was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the second round (49th overall) of the 2001 NHL draft. Michael made his NHL debut 11/8/02 at the Ottawa Senators picking up his first NHL point with an assist and scored his first NHL goal in his fifth game 11/16/02 at the Edmonton Oilers, the game-winner, in a 4–1 victory.
In the 2004–05 hockey season, Cammalleri was awarded the Willie Marshall Award for leading the AHL in goals, scoring 46 while playing for the Manchester Monarchs.
He was a member of the 2007 Canadian IIHF World Championship team that won gold in a 4–2 win against Finland in Moscow. He has reportedly received a new 2 year contract worth $3.1 million in 2007–2008 and $3.6 million in 2008–2009 for an average cap hit of $3.35 million per year. At the start of the 2007–08 season he was named an alternate captain for the Kings.
On September 29, 2007, he scored the first ever regular season NHL goal in Europe.
On draft day, June 20, 2008, Cammalleri was traded to the Calgary Flames in a three-way deal between the Anaheim Ducks and Kings. The Flames acquired Cammalleri from the Kings in exchange for the 17th overall pick in the draft. Los Angeles then dealt the 17th selection and its 28th pick to the Ducks for their 12th> overall pick.[1]
On June 25, 2008, Cammalleri was a guest on NHL Live! on XM Radio (channel 204) and saw for the first time a Flames jersey with his name and number 13 on the back. After the segment, Cammalleri left with the jersey, wearing it around Manhattan.citation needed
