Khabibulin Arrested

The Oilers got a bit of a surprise over this Olympic Break, as their injured franchise goalie, Nikolai Khabibulin was arrested for drunk driving and speeding in Arizona and will attend a court hearing next week to find out what his fate will be. No disciplinary action is planned from the Oilers at the moment, as they'll wait to hear what the verdict is in court.

Khabibulin's back injury is poised to keep him out of the Oilers line-up for the remainder of the season, so he doesn't have any value in fantasy pools for the rest of this season, but it will be interesting to see how the Oilers deal with the goalie and the three years remaining on his contract.
