Luton substitute Luke Berry scored a late equaliser as the Hatters hit back from 2-0 down to claim a point with a 2-2 draw against Millwall at Kenilworth Road.
The Lions had looked on course to take a big step forward in the battle for a top-six spot after doubling their advantage early in the second half, but they had not reckoned on a fightback that saw Elijah Adebayo and Berry find the net to rescue a point.
Coventry's record of never winning a league game at Preston continued as the mid-table rivals shared a 0-0 draw in the Sky Bet Championship.

Ryley Towler fired a second-half double as Portsmouth dented Bolton's automatic promotion hopes with a 3-1 win at Fratton Park.
Bolton had been hoping to close the gap on second-placed Plymouth to three points and they took the lead through Dion Charles early in the second half.
But Pompey hit back as Towler headed them level and fired them into the lead before Colby Bishop made sure of the points with a late third.
Derby climbed to within two points of fourth-placed Bolton as they bounced back from Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Barnsley by beating Cheltenham 2-0.
David McGoldrick gave Derby a half-time lead at Pride Park and Lewis Dobbin added a second to get the Rams' play-off bid back on track.
Peterborough moved up one place to eighth as they had Josh Knight controversially sent off in a goalless home draw against Charlton.
Posh were reduced to 10 men early in the second half when Knight was shown a straight red card following his clash with Charlton's Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who was lucky to escape a similar fate.
