Do they not allow them? Even if they did I think most players wouldn’t wear them

Two issues:

(10%) Injury concern. If you allow them, they need to be universal or you end up with guys getting their faces wrecked during hard hits.

(90%) Let’s be honest, the NHL wants the fights and they want you to be able to see faces. It’s a marketing thing.

This would require them actually marketing players. They haven’t marketed a single face in years.
