They actually should make the rink smaller if they want to increase scoring. Scoring is low in European hockey because it's too far to go anywhere and can't pin teams deep. Dump and chase would become extinct.
A smaller ice surface creates more hits and collisions which can cause turnovers, the side boards are closer and pucks bounce off things.
