Edin needed an extra end to get past Minnesota’s John Shuster, winning 7-6.

The Swede had the hammer in the extra end and was able to draw his final rock very close to the button.

“It feels really good,” Edin said. “We probably should have lost that game, lucky to win it at the end, so we’ll take it. Now we’ve got two days off almost so [we’ve] got to regroup and play a little bit better in the playoffs but we got the win so that’s the really positive thing.

“We kept it clean the whole end. [Lead] Christopher [Sundgren] made two really good tick shots and it was wide open so I just decided to draw my first one just to get a feel for the speed, if it was still the same, and it was. That last shot, it’s not a routine shot, but we still should make it most of the time and the sweepers kept it clean the whole way so it was a nice feeling.”

Edin said they will use their time off to do some training and also to watch the others draws in order to keep an eye on who they might play in the playoffs.

“Depending on who we play, we definitely need a plan,” Edin said. “So we’re going to look at most of the games that are left and see what happens.”

Koe and Shuster, meanwhile, now drop to the ‘B’ bracket.

Elsewhere, Saskatoon’s Bruce Korte dropped his second of three games thus far, falling 5-4 to Edmonton’s Charley Thomas.

Korte now will have to work his way up from the ‘C’ bracket and cannot afford another loss or his tournament will be done. His next game will be Friday at 11:30 a.m. against the loser of Winnipeg’s Reid Carruthers and Vernon B.C.’s John Morris. Morris gets to play Carruthers because of his win in draw seven, 9-3 over Heath McCormick from Blaine, U.S.A.

Thomas stays in the ‘B’ bracket and will face off against Shuster on Friday at 11:30 a.m.

Koe’s opponent will be the winner of the Morris and Carruthers game.

Rounding out the seventh draw was a big loss for Rachel Homan, who falls to 0-2 after dropping a 10-4 score to Lethbridge’s Casey Scheidegger.

Homan will now play Russia’s Anna Sidorova at 8 a.m. on Friday morning with both of their tournaments on the line.
