Winnipeg 's Matt Dunstone and Reid Carruthers are among six teams left in the bid for the Canadian men’s curling championship.

Dunstone's 7-6 victory over defending three -time champion Brad Gushue lifts Winnipeg into first place in Pool A.

The winners of those 1 -v-2 seeding games advance to the playoff round Saturday , while the losers drop to the third -place teams in each pool (Carruthers and Mooibroek/Purcell), which are elimination contests.

With just four teams remaining, the Page playoff kicks in again Saturday and Sunday .
