I don't believe it. I think it has more to do with the programming than anything. For instance, if you reduce your roster size to 18 skaters, you won't see an injury to your team because it would put you below the limit. Similarily you can only carry three goalies, and the game doesn't allow injuries to goalies.
They should make injuries more like Madden, where the game stops and forces you to aquire a new QB (or whatever) to maintain a roster minimum.
If it was the NHL cracking down on violence, you'd think they'd want to have the slash combo removed (look it up in the manual). It is tough to execute but if you start slashing you are guarenteed to injure a few opponents a game. This is way more violent than a Vokoun blood clotting condition.
