One game after Predators Coach Barry Trotz ripped into the organization’s clock operator, the NHL offered a little assistance.
Dave Baker, the NHL’s manager of officiating, flew into Nashville and worked with the clock operator before the game against New Jersey on Thursday.
Two days earlier during the win over San Jose, there had been a couple of late-game delays caused by the clock running after the whistle — and the ensuing time needed to reset the clock.
Trotz was upset that the delays allowed San Jose to rest its top players and put them back on the ice during a close game. On Thursday, Trotz sensed that practice paid off for the clock operator, who is new to the role this season.
“I was very happy with the way they got the clock going,’’ Trotz said. “They finally got it right. They did let the clock go one time, but it was fixed within seconds this time.’’
