MLB has lowered the height of the pitcher mound to increase scoring in the past. NLL increased the size of the net to increase scoring. NBA added the 3-point line. NFL/CFL has made many changes that lead to increase scoring. The NHL will increase the size of the nets in the future, it's just a matter of when.
