boot pattern with broken screen

So my Nexus 6 bit the dust but there's some data I'd love to pull of it, but with the broken screen I can't enter the pattern I had set on the bootloader. I've been googling to see if there's a way to bypass the pattern entry on the bootloader without formatting the device but it looks like I'm out of luck, did I miss something?

Thanks!
