Canada's Brad Gushue and his team suffer a 6-5 defeat against Sweden's Niklas Edin, ending their five-game win streak. Despite the loss, Canada remains in second place in the standings.

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — Brad Gushue ’s win streak is over at five games after Canada lost 6-5 to Sweden ’s Niklas Edin at the world men's curling championship on Thursday.

“Just a terrible second end where we didn’t make any shots and gave them three and then trying to come back on that ice surface is tough,” Gushue said. “Niklas was playing easy shots, and we were playing tough shots on ice that frosty, so it was tough to make. It’s unfortunate that the ice got as challenging as it did, but we can’t give up three early.”

“The finesse shots were incredibly difficult," Gushue said."Nik made an incredible shot in the fourth. To make that good of a finesse shot on this kind of ice is spectacular. The top six teams qualify for the playoffs, with the top two seeds advancing directly to the semifinal. The medal games will be held on Sunday.
