Brad Gushue's side remain undefeated, notching up five wins in the United States.

Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, Sweden, and the hosts are all tied for second place on three wins and two losses.

The Canadians took to the ice for their only game of the day against Joël Retornaz's Italy and applied pressure from the first end.

However, facing three counters in the opener, Retornaz played a draw into the four-foot area with his final stone to score a single point.

Canada then took a swift lead in the second when skip Gushue was left with an open draw for two points before another open draw in the fourth end propelled the 36-time champions into a 5-2 lead.

Italy reduced the deficit to 5-4 shortly after but it was the last time they would score as Canada took charge and secured a10-4 victory.

"We were just trying to execute shots and get a better feel for the ice," said Gushue.

"The ice was better today than it has been in the past four games and we picked it up pretty early.

"We had some success with hammer and I think part of that was getting set up with the first four rocks, then it was just a matter of me and Mark [Nichols] not messing it up!"

After slipping to two shock defeats in yesterday's play, Beijing 2022 gold medallists Sweden picked up two vital wins.

The defending champions demolished Denmark 11-4 before dispatching neighbours Finland 7-2.

"The good thing is that the ice is a lot better now and a lot more consistent," said Swedish skip Niklas Edin.

"If it stays like this, you’ll see 90 per cent from us.

"Our form is good.

"We had a good start there and that helps.

"I think now we can keep doing what we did at the Olympics, and that worked well."

The action continues tomorrow in Nevada with 11 fixtures scheduled, including Canada and Sweden both playing Germany.
