King's Lynn boss Carl Heggs revealed after Saturday's second consecutive Unibond Premier Division home draw he had lined up former Coventry hitman Iyseden Christie to bolster his shot shy attack.
Gareth Sheldon's fourth of the campaign cancelled out Town midfielder Anthony Hackworth's superb first half opener.
Lynn pinned the visitors back for long spells after the break and were denied a strong penalty claim when Callum Lloyd tumbled inside the box in the closing stages.
