The San Jose Sharks invited Iggulden to their training camp in September 2005 and, after he became one of the most consistent performers for their AHL farm team at the time, the Cleveland Barons, signed him to a two-year contract on January 16, 2006.[2] Iggulden made his NHL debut in the 2007–08 season with the Sharks on February 18, 2008, in what would be his only game with the Sharks.
On July 3, 2008, Iggulden was signed as a free agent by the New York Islanders to a one-year deal.[3] Iggulden, on his Islanders debut, scored his first 2 NHL points on assists to Sean Bergenheim, in a 7-3 victory, against the New Jersey Devils on March 7, 2009.[4] On March 12, Iggulden scored his first NHL goal against the Montreal Canadiens, tying the game at 1 to 1.
On July 10, 2009, Iggulden signed with Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League.[5]
