Losses by Switzerland and the Russians ensured idle Canada (5-3) will finish in the top four in the men’s standings.

Gushue’s final round-robin game is Wednesday at 8:05 p.m. ET against reigning World Championship runner-up Bruce Mouat (7-1) of Great Britain, who is tied with Sweden’s Niklas Edin for top spot.
