TORONTO — Mike Iggulden hopes his second professional game at Air Canada Centre will be a more enjoyable experience for his family and friends than his first one.

The last time the New York Islanders rookie suited up at the ACC was three years ago for the Cleveland Barons of the AHL. Iggulden is not a fighter, but midway through the second period he found himself in a scrap with Toronto Marlies forward Ben Ondrus, who will play for the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight.

After the fight, Iggulden retired to the penalty box for 19 minutes. He received two minutes for instigating the fight, two for fighting with a visor on, a five-minute major for fighting and 10-minute misconduct because his sweater tie-down came loose.
