TLDR: Play Elliott next game. He will be good.

TBH I'm happy with both starting, as Chad has been lights out for us the last two games. But it'd be wiser to use the night off after duelling for 2 nights in a row. That's what my reasoning would be as Gulutzan. If Johnson goes down to injury all of a sudden, things turn grim on the backend.

Now I would give the next game to Elliott, as he has beaten the Hawks before and even stolen that game for us earlier this season in their barn. The players still have that fresh on their minds and will support him. He will be hungry to prove himself - the backup got two starts on back-to-back games and played incredibly in both. He's firmly landed on the "same #### different team" square, and this had better be a statement game from him. If it was any team other than Chicago next game, I'd have stayed with Johnson.

So FWIW, I feel like we'd be getting the Elliott that stole us 2 pts from them, and not the Elliott who whiffed on a short side 2 on 1 shot vs the Rangers.
