SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (AP)—Edmonton Oilers goalie Nikolai Khabibulin of Russia 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. He was pulled over in his Ferrari on Feb. 8, after the car was clocked at 70 mph (113 kph) in a 45 mph (72 kph) 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.
