My assumption is that players know it's an easy penalty to draw these days with the new, stricter rules, and they are facing the boards more often, not every instance but most. I have seen more guys this season turn and face the boards when they know they are about to be hit more than I ever have in my 20 plus years of being a hockey fan.
