Nikolai Khabibulin Gets 30 Days in Jail For DUI

Filed under: Oilers, NHL Police BlotterSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin has been sentenced to 30 days in jail stemming from his Arizona drunken-driving conviction. The four-time All-Star received the sentence Tuesday in Scottsdale City Court. He also was fined $5,100 and must enroll in an alcohol-treatment program.

He was ordered to report to jail Saturday, but that could be delayed because he's appealing his sentence.

The 37-year-old played for Phoenix from 1996-99 and still has a home in Paradise Valley. He was pulled over in his Ferrari on Feb. 8, after the car was clocked at 70 mph in a 45 mph zone.

Police said an officer smelled alcohol and Khabibulin was arrested after a field sobriety test.

Khabibulin signed a four-year, $15 million deal with Edmonton last year.
