After being held scoreless on opening night, Iskhakov tallied points in six straight games to finish October, starting with his first career AHL goal in a 3-2 win at Springfield on Oct. 15th. He tallied an assist as the Islanders earned a 5-4 overtime win at Providence on Oct. 21st; picked up a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over Laval on Oct. 22nd; and recorded two helpers in Bridgeport's 5-2 decision over Hartford on Oct. 23rd.
Iskhakov, a native of Moscow, notched a goal and an assist in an overtime loss in Springfield last Friday, and closed out the month with his fourth consecutive multiple-point game, potting the game-winning goal and adding two assists in a 6-3 win at Lehigh Valley last Saturday.
A second-round selection by the New York Islanders in the 2018 NHL Draft, Iskhakov played two seasons at the University of Connecticut (2018-20) before skating in Finland and Germany the last two years.
