That is not the current rule. I don't know how old it is, but Rule 78 isn't even about goalie interference anymore. The first clue that it's out of date is that it says video replay isn't used to enforce it but that's been under the Coach's Challenge rule since it was introduced.

Rule 69 (nice) covers goalie interference.
