Tim Hortons Brier 2020: Tuesday Curling Results, Updated Draw and Schedule

Tuesday at the 2020 Tim Hortons Brier is in the books, and there's only one undefeated team remaining in pool play.

Team Alberta, led by skipper Brendan Bottcher, is now 6-0 and in command of Pool B. The Wild Card team from West St. Paul has pulled into a tie for control of Pool A with Saskatchewan with both sitting at 5-1 through six games.

Round-robin play wraps up Wednesday with three draws, but Tuesday's action may have helped decide who advances to the Championship Pool.

Tuesday Highlights

Kevin Koe struck again Tuesday, much to the dismay of Wild Card skipper Mike McEwen. The skip would have remained undefeated throughout pool play had Koe not managed to pull off a triple on his final shot for the win.

Koe could have easily gone for the single to pull Team Canada into a 2-2 tie with the Wild Card team after the 10th end, but the skip took a high-risk, high-reward approach that paid off.

The win was a massive one for Team Canada in the Brier Classic standings as well. A loss there would place them in a fourth-place tie with Team Ontario at 3-3, putting Koe's crew in danger of missing the top-four Pool A cut and sitting out the Championship Pool round.

However, Team Canada now has some breathing room thanks to Koe's gutsy decision and excellent execution. He spoke about the shot afterward:

It was undoubtedly a disappointing result for McEwen, but this Wild Card five-ender in an 11-7 victory over Team Ontario was anything but:

A day filled with sensational shots received a contribution from Manitoba's Jason Gunnlaugson, who somehow pulled off this sorcery to give his team a 9-8 win over Prince Edward Island:

It was a great bounce-back victory for Manitoba after suffering an emotional defeat to undefeated Alberta 7-6 in 11 ends in its previous contest, one where Gunnlaugson's crew overcame a 6-2 deficit after six just to force the extra frame.
