Because the officials know the timekeepers had a back-up clock.
This is hardly unprecedented.
In fact, I've been to games here in Calgary - though a Hitmen game - where the clock died and a team was on the powerplay. They actually had the PA announce when there was 1 minute, 30 seconds and 10 seconds left in the man advantage.
