Which goaltender between Elliott and Johnson actually has a better game tomorrow is one thing, but I think mentally it would be much better for the team to put in someone else.
They just had an excellent effort negated by Elliott, and are on the verge of the season ending because of his play. At least with a goalie change they can feel like it is a bit of a reset....a fresh start. Best case is Johnson steals one, and the team starts to think that maybe they can get on a run with the new guy in the pipes.
Worst case is they lose, which we all pretty much expect anyway. And who cares whose in net in that case.
But putting Elliott back in would be very hard mentally on the whole team after the way the game went.
