Luton Town finished the regular Championship season unbeaten in 14 matches after a final-day stalemate against Hull City.
Rob Edwards shuffled his pack and made eight changes as Town - who were guaranteed to finish third before Monday's finale - had one eye on the play-offs.
The Hatters will travel to Sunderland in the first leg of their play-off semi-final on Saturday (17:30 BST), with the return leg at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday, 16 May (20:00 BST).
The Tigers - who made four changes themselves - burned brightly in the early stages and Adama Traore saw two shots deflected behind.
