The NHL Rulebook on "Too Many Men on the Ice"...
Quote:
If in the course of making a substitution, either the player entering the game or the player retiring from the ice surface plays the puck with his stick, skates or hands or who checks or makes any physical contact with an opposing player while either the player entering the game or the retiring player is actually on the ice, then the infraction of “too many men on the ice” will be called.

If in the course of a substitution either the player(s) entering the play or the player(s) retiring is struck by the puck accidentally, the play will not be stopped and no penalty will be called.
Jooris made zero attempt to play the puck in that situation, so even if it did touch him (which it didn't appear to on any replay I saw), it shouldn't have been a penalty under the accidental contact part of the rule.
