When the Växjo Lakers signed former NHL forward Mike
Iggulden to a one-year contract in June, it was hardly
considered earth-shattering news around Elitserien. The 28-year-old
who played 12 games spread across two seasons for the San Jose
Sharks and New York Islanders has been something of
a hockey nomad in his career.
Although "Iggy" was a fine scorer in the American Hockey League,
the KHL and Switzerland's National League A, the Cornell University
graduate was not considered a game-breaking player. That is, until
now.
Through the first 15 games of the 2011-12 Elitserien regular
season, Iggulden has been the most electrifying offensive player in
the league. In what generally has been a low-scoring season around
the SEL, Iggulden leads the league in goals (10, including 4
game-winners) and points (21), while also converting several
shootout attempts. Iggulden, who is listed as a right wing,
generally has played center for the Lakers, and has won 56 percent
(70-for-125) of the faceoffs he's taken to date.
