There was no good choice in that scenario given how weak Elliot was playing. Johnson hasn't been great towards the 2nd half of the season and barely played.
I'm sure the coach talked to Elliot and empathized the need to have a strong bounceback game. Unfortunately given the freak/weak goal and Gulutzan's assessment of the team's mental state from before the game, trying to snap the team with a goalie change was the most realistic choice.
