WATCH: Jordan Binnington lands a shot on Corey Perry from behind, Oilers-Blues scrum ensues

Tensions flared in the first period between St. Louis goaltender Jordan Binnington and Edmonton Oilers veteran Corey Perry during Wednesday's matchup.

As the Oilers gained control of the puck near the Blues' net in the first period, Binnington was caught in a crowd of players. Perry, positioning himself to take a shot close to the net, made contact with his skates on the Blues goalie's helmet.

Frustrated, Binnington quickly got to his feet and threw a punch at Perry from behind. This sparked a scrum as players from both sides jumped into the fray on the ice. Perry got involved in a brief fight with Jake Neighbours.

Jordan Binnington and Blues drop back-to-back games

The St. Louis Blues had the franchise record 12-game winning streak and the longest this season after the Winnipeg Jets run of 11 unbeaten games.

However, since their 3-1 defeat to the Jets on Monday, the Blues have lost back-to-back games, following a 4-3 loss to the Oilers at Rogers Place on Wednesday.

"We’re a good third-period team, we’re always in it, we keep fighting and we gave ourselves a chance to win the game or get a point. It’s unfortunate, the way it ended," Blues center Robert Thomas said post-game.

Ryan Suter struck first to give the Blues a 1-0 advantage at 8:44 into the first period. Coming into the second period, Connor Brown tied it 1-1 for the Oilers before Vasily Podkolzin increased the lead to 2-1 before heading into the final period.

Jordan Kyrou tied it 2-2 for the Blues after scoring just 14 seconds into the final period. Viktor Arvidsson restored the Oilers' lead to 3-2 at 1:41 before Pavel Bouchnevich leveled it 3-3 for the visitors.

With less than 20 seconds to go, Brown scored the winner for the Oilers and his second of the night. Jordan Binnington finished the contest with 19 saves and posted a save percentage of .826.
