New York Islanders prospect Ruslan Iskhakov is set to begin his professional career in Finland, here’s what he had to say about the decision.
They call him the Moscow Wizard or Mr. Magic, or the Magic man. New York Islanders 2018 second-round pick Ruslan Iskhakov has only been with Finnish side TPS for a few weeks but already the team is loving the Isles prospect.
And how could they not? As teams in Finland ramp up their preparations for the regular season, TPS is part of not only a 3v3 tournament with five other Finnish sides, but they’ve begun full team preseason games.
