Colin Patterson might have been #9 in points (I didn't check), but he wasn't really used as a #9. My recollection is he played LW on the top line with Mullen and Gilmour. He didn't get the PP time as Otto was elevated from his 3rd line spot to be used for faceoffs and net-front-presence.
That was actually my favourite thing about that Flames team; how dominant their PP was. At some points in the season it seemed almost automatic they would score. They were tough enough to muck it up if they had to but they could make you pay on the scoreboard too.
