A pair of Atlantic Division foes are calling each other out over a fight that never happened Saturday.

On Sunday morning, Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane subtweeted Boston Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller, claiming he ducked him during the matinee affair one day prior.

Miller had implied the same thing about Kane when asked about the incident after Saturday's game.

"I think he was excited to fight when the referees came in, not before," Miller told Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe.

Upon seeing Kane's response Sunday, Miller fired back.

"He wanted to fight when refs came in and now he uses Twitter," the Boston rearguard told CSNNE's Joe Haggerty. "He seems to be saying it when we don't play them again (this season)."

Miller wasn't done.

"I'm pretty sure everybody on his team knows how I feel about (Kane)," he said. "There's always next year."

Kane and Miller nearly came to blows midway through the second period, but the officials intervened to prevent the two players from fighting.

When the dust settled, Kane was assessed a 10-minute misconduct and two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct, while Miller was handed two minutes for roughing.

The Bruins earned a sweep of the season series against the Sabres with a 3-1 win on Saturday afternoon, less than 48 hours after skating to a 4-2 victory over Buffalo on Thursday night.
