I think it was Nichuskin who was about to change, then changed his mind because he saw the puck was coming up, but Kadri was already on and MacKinnon did eventually come off. He is the guy at the blue line.

When I see that I think that is definitely too many men. It looks like Nichuskin was going to go off and Kadri was going to replace him, they both stay on and MacKinnon eventually goes off the ice. I have seen it where a player has one skate on the ice and they call it.
If it was MacKinnon who Kadri was replacing on the ice he was already in full possession of the puck and gained a huge advantage accordingly. The fact it wasn't called isn't a shock because the refs don't want to impact the game but it technically is a pretty straight forward call.
