Can someone explain how is this game drawn?

Can someone please explain why and how is this game drawn? XD I mean its not like im complaining cuz theoretcally it is a drawn game but i (white pieces) had 17 sec left, and my oponent had timed out. It was his time to move and when he timed out the game said that its a draw but it should have been my victory cuz he had a move that does not draw the game yet he had lost his time... I guess is some kind of system error or a bug answers please??? XD
btw this is the game: lichess.org/hjPgK3WN
Theoretically is not a draw(blkack wins), my friend Stockfish has just told me but still i have the same question? :)
If there is no possible sequence of legal moves that could lead to you checkmating black, then it's a draw if black times out.
Oh, this has never happened to me and i didnt even knew that this was a rule, thanks alot for the answer. :)
