Following his selection by the New York Islanders in the 2018 NHL entry draft, Iskhakov immediately moved to North America and played collegiate hockey with the University of Connecticut of the Hockey East for two seasons.

Following his sophomore season, and with the disruption of COVID-19 pandemic halting the collegiate ranks, Iskhakov opted to turn professional in joining Finnish club, HC TPS of the Liiga for the 2020–21 season on 29 May 2020.

He helped the club reach the championship finals in notching seven points through 13 playoff contests.

[2] With his season limited through injury, Iskhakov still increased his offensive pace in contributing with 22 points through 25 regular season appearances.

On 26 May 2022, Iskhakov returned to North American after he agreed to terms with draft club, the New York Islanders, on a two-year, entry-level contract. [3]

During the 2023–24 season, Iskhakov was recalled by the Islanders and made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut, registering an assist in his lone regular appearance with the club in a 5–4 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on 17 April 2024. [4] [5] Remaining on the roster into the playoffs, Iskhakov drew into the lineup and made his postseason debut during a first round series against the Carolina Hurricanes. He was scoreless in a 3–2 victory over the Hurricanes on 27 April 2024, however did not feature in the remainder of the series. [6]

As a pending restricted free agent, Iskhakov opted to halt his career in North America and return to his homeland after signing a two-year contract with perennial contending club, HC CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), on 1 August 2024. [7]
