TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Erik Nickulas and Keith Tkachuk scored third-period goals Friday night as St. Louis rallied for a 2-2 tie with Tampa Bay.
The Blues were held to 12 shots over the first two periods, but Nickulas' power-play goal got them on the board 2:41 into the third.
Just under 6 1/2 minutes later, Tkachuk blasted a slap shot from the point past screened goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin for his team-leading 12th goal.
St. Louis could not cash in on a power play in overtime but secured a point on the road against a Tampa Bay team that had been 8
0 when leading after two periods.
Fredrik Modin gave the Lightning a 1-0 lead with 8:22 left in the first period, ending a team-record scoreless drought of 160 minutes. Tampa Bay had been blanked in its previous two games.
