Patrick Kaleta and Ryan Miller patched up any lingering differences Tuesday.

"He's like my brother, one of my best friends on the team," Kaleta said after Tuesday's morning skate. "Some things were misunderstood there but we're family. Our season hasn't gone the way we wanted it to go and everyone knows that. Our job is to come together as a team and go out there and battle." Miller said that Kaleta "needs to just grow up" after he complained about being a healthy scratch. However, the emotional and outspoken goaltender sees the error of his ways and he said, "We're going to try to move on from that." Ironically, Kaleta was back in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against Montreal while Miller watched the bench as Jhonas Enroth's backup.

The Sabres are expected to use the same four forward lines that played together in Saturday's 4-3 OT loss to Ottawa
