Double steal decides the game
The battle for third place initially went back and forth, with neither team being able to pull away decisively. canada Skip Brad Gushue missed out in the eighth end to put his side in a better position for the crucial period with three points.
In the following end, however, his team managed a double steal – they went into the final end with an 8:5 lead, and the Americans were unable to catch up. The defending champion of 2018 around Skip and standard-bearer John Shuster got nothing.
