Sunday Recap

Canada is seeking its third Brier championship in four years, including back-to-back titles in 2017 and '18, but lead Ben Hebert will remember Sunday for individual reasons:

Kevin Koe, who led Alberta to Brier glory last year, is now serving as Canada's skip. The 45-year-old is trying to become the first skip to win the Brier five times (h/t CBC). He and Canada had gotten off to a rough start on Saturday by dropping their opener 5-3 to Team John Epping from Ontario but rebounded Sunday against the winless Northwest Territories.

Epping, meanwhile, kept dominating en route to routing British Columbia 11-3:

"This is definitely up there in the top experiences," Epping told Curling Canada afterward, referencing his team's unbeaten record before home fans in Ontario. "... It's great to have a chance to play in a home Brier. You never know how many you're gonna get to, and it might be my last chance. You don't know."

Ontario upheld Epping's comments by tallying three points in the ninth end to top winless Yukon 10-6.

The morning's Draw 3 was highlighted by Saskatchewan and 24-year-old skip Matt Dunstone upset veteran skip James Grattan and his New Brunswick teammates. Saskatchewan outscored New Brunswick 5-0 in the ninth and 10th ends to complete the comeback victory. 

Saskatchewan was led by Dustin Kidby throwing 98 percent, while Dunstone shot 79 percent.

Northern Ontario and Manitoba wrapped up competition as the last to leave the ice.

Skip Brad Jacobs gave Northern Ontario a 5-4 lead entering the seventh end: 

Both teams were held scoreless until Manitoba narrowly pulled off a two-point 10th end for the 6-5 victory:

It marked Manitoba's second comeback upset of the day, having already defeated Quebec 10-8 in the afternoon:

While Manitoba will ride high into Monday tied for second in Pool B at 2-1, Northern Ontario is off to a surprising 1-2 start—good for sixth place—after entering the field as the world's top-ranked team. 

Anything can happen at the Brier.
