Portland ruined Brooks’ return with a 5-4 overtime win.
It was a back and forth night that saw the Pats fight back from a 3-1 deficit, eventually taking a 4-3 lead midway through the third period.
Portland tied the game with under three minutes left and eventually won late in overtime, thanks to a Caleb Jones goal with 56 seconds left until a shootout.
Both goaltenders were busy with 103 shots total, 52 for the Pats, 51 for the Winterhawks.
