A 5 minute major plus the loss of another forward would afford an enormous advantage to the surging Denver team.  Well worth the risk of losing a challenge.  Even if the referees claim they didn't see it or didn't think it was a major penalty,  forcing them to look at the video would "surely"  have changed their minds (as surely as anything is sure when dealing with referees).
