Breaking: Malkin & Wheeler drop the gloves in revenge fight.

Blake Wheeler was looking for revenge tonight and he got it.

When the Penguins and Jets last met it was called the most violent game of the National Hockey League season, and one of the highlights from that game was a high hit to the head from Penguins star forward Evgeni Malkin to the aforementioned Wheeler.

In the very first period of their first meeting since that hit, Malkin and Wheeler dropped the gloves and squared off in what had to be considered a revenge bout for Wheeler. Unfortunately for Malkin, Wheeler appeared to have both the physical strength advantage as well as some additional fuel from the anger he clearly exhibited in every punch he threw Malkin's way. 

Credit to Malkin for dropping the gloves after delivering a dirty hit, but there's no doubt that Wheeler got the better of him here.
