The spoils were shared at Rugby Park as both teams bounced back from midweek cup exits.
St Mirren made their point by fighting back to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premiership season and thwart Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Meanwhile, draw specialists Killie have seven points from seven games after registering a fourth stalemate of the campaign so far and their third on the trot. He said: “I thought we were the better team in the second half but over the course of the whole game, it would be churlish for me to say we deserved to win it.
Kilmarnock broke the deadlock in the 19th minute with a goal which owed much to the commitment of Lyons. An attempted clearance by Charles Dunne was charged down by the alert midfielder with the ball spinning upwards in the box. It was end-to-end stuff although few goalscoring opportunities were being created, with the final ball or cross just not there, and a lack of composure when it mattered most.
