Winnipeg\u2019s Reid Carruthers pulled off a decisive 7-5 victory over Switzerland\u2019s Yannick Schwaller at the Kioti National in St. John’s on Tuesday. The game\u2019s turning point came in the eighth end, where Carruthers managed a single-point steal to secure the win.<\/p>\n
With Kyle Doering stepping in as second for the retired Derek Samagalski, Carruthers and his team executed a strong seventh end, scoring two points and setting the stage for victory. The game ended when an attempted tap by the Swiss side came up light, allowing Carruthers to seal the win. Notably, Swiss skip Yannick Schwaller was absent due to knee surgery, with his brother Kim Schwaller filling in at second, while Sven Michel moved to third position, supporting Benoit Schwarz-van Berkel.<\/p>\n

In an all-Scottish faceoff, Bruce Mouat bested James Craik with a 7-4 final score. More matches are set to take place at the Mary Brown\u2019s Centre, promising continued action in the tournament.<\/p>\n
