I have 0 NHL experience, playing or coaching or otherwise, but from watching lots and lots of hockey in my life I could tell you that you take every opportunity to change out tired penalty killers and you always try and put someone out there to take the draw that has some sort of chance of winning it. Preferably a centre.
This isnt the nuance and minutiae of the 'Left-Wing Lock' or other complex coaching strategies, this is elementary stuff.
Because if it was a mistake then he is screwing up the most basic, garden-variety coaching that anything else seems like it would be beyond his abilities.
If it was a mistake then we need another coach. Because this is not a squad that should be led by someone learning on the job.

Because he made a mistake he should be fired? Mistakes happen by coaches every night in every game. All coaches are learning on the job.
