No Iginla doesn't. He has never taken more draws than his centerman.
Even when Langkow was a Flame (and just for argument sake lets pretend he always centered Iggy) Lankgkow never took fewer than 800 faceoffs, Iginla only surpassed 500 faceoffs once.
You might see it as a strange thing to look at, but a #1 center takes the majority of their teams faceoffs, even when they aren't good at it (Just look at Olli and Langkow).
Looking at the stats for Cervenka's KHL club and if you look at the TOI (I know this isn't always exact but you get an idea) of the forwards it appears his linemates were probably Platonov & Kalyuzhny. Kalyuzhny (who is also listed as a center) took more than 3 times the draws compared to Cervenka,
