I think it is far more important to manage your starter's workload. Let's be honest: as soon as a team's backup goalie starts a playoff game it is a pretty good indicator that the series is already over.
I wouldn't mind seeing Johnson in another game if only to ensure that Elliott is as fresh as possible for the second week of April. But even if he plays out the string I am pretty confident in his ability to play for a long time this Spring.
