...it’s such a painfully clear comparison, yet the NHL does nothing. The league is a joke.

The difference is pretty obvious. Tkachuk purposefully hit the player with his stick while the player was not on the ice and leaving to the locker room in an attempt to goad that player.
Mantha and Hamonic began fighting on the ice and while they were fighting were unaware that the bench door was open so both fell into the benches. BOTH players continued to throw punches.
