Dino Ciccarelli scored his second goal of the game with 37.7 seconds left in regulation to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-2 tie with the St. Louis Blues on Monday night in Tampa, Fla.

The right wing redirected Roman Hamrlik’s blue-line drive past goalie Grant Fuhr, helping Tampa Bay tie a franchise record with an eight-game home unbeaten streak. The Lighting are 4-0-4 during the streak.

Brett Hull gave the Blues a 2-1 lead in the second period. It was Hull’s 544th career goal, tying former Montreal star Maurice Richard for 16th place on the career list.

Pierre Turgeon feathered a pass past Lightning defenseman Yves Racine, and Hull then blistered a left circle one-timer past goalie Daren Puppa at 11:29.

At Boston, Anders Eriksson had a goal and an assist and Chris Osgood made 33 saves as the Detroit Red Wings won 4-2 to run their winning streak against the Bruins to nine games.
