TORONTO — Blake Wheeler has an issue with the NHL's double-standard.

Asked Tuesday about a hit to the head he took from Evgeni Malkin in last week’s OT loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins that didn't warrant a suspension compared to Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba earning a two-game suspension for a hit on Ottawa’s Mark Stone in Sunday’s win over the Sens, the Jets captain did not mince his words.
