    Edmonton Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin was sentenced to 30 days in prison in a Scottsdale, Arizona courtroom on Tuesday.

    The 30-day stay in jail was the minimum sentence Khabibulin could have received under Arizona law. The maximum sentence would have been a six-month jail term.

    Khabibulin was found guilty on Friday of three out of four charges against him.

    The 37-year-old was pulled over last February while speeding in his black Ferrari in Arizona and was found with a blood alcohol level of at least twice the legal limit in that state. After the blood test, he was cited for an extreme DUI with a blood-alcohol content at .164.

    Khabibulin has appealed the decision, which starts a process that could take several months to complete.

    Khabby is turning into a nightmarish signing for the Oilers. He missed almost all of last season and now this.
