He scored a total of 19 points in 22 playoff games as the Flames won their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. Considered one of the league's best faceoff men and a top two-way forward, Otto was frequently the subject of inquiries by other teams in trade talks, which the Flames refused. He scored his 100th career goal on October 30, 1990, against the New Jersey Devils and his 300th point on October 4, 1991, against Edmonton. He was the Flames' nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 1991–92, a league award given for dedication and perseverance.

Still regarded as one of the league's top defensive centers in 1996–97, Otto helped the Flyers reach the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals, which they lost to the Detroit Red Wings. He scored only 7 points in 68 games in 1997–98 after recording 32 the season before, and had lost some of his skating speed. Following the season, Otto announced his retirement.
