He is one of 100 prospects invited to the Scouting Combine in Buffalo starting Monday (June 3) and ending June 8.

Iginla is ranked ninth among North American skaters on the NHL Central Scouting Bureau ranking for the draft.

㽶ƵֱThe combine is a rite of passage on a player㽶Ƶֱs path to the NHL and event clubs and prospects look forward to participating in,㽶Ƶֱ said Dan Marr, NHL central scouting director.

Iginla is the Rockets 2024 MVP and finished second in scoring among his teammates with 84 points (47G-37A) in 62 games.
