I understand rotating the goalies but not before Brossoit gets a chance to round into form. Makes even less sense in hindsight.

To be fair to Brossoit, prior to that start he relieved Bera and didn't allow a goal in 34 minutes as Abbotsford fell just short of coming back to tie. He did only face 9 shots in those 34 mins.
I just don't think the 9 goal game (5 PP goals btw) tells the whole story.
Agree with you that the switch after assignments is a little odd.
