The team of Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat opened the game hot and never looked back. Dodds' hammer throw in the opening end took out Canada's lone rock in the house, giving Great Britain an early 3-0 lead.

They extended the lead to 5-1 after three ends, forcing Canada to use its power play in the fourth. Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant weren't able to capitalize. Great Britain kept the house clean, and Dodds' final throw took out Canada's only sitting rock, so the Canadians had to settle for just a single point in what they hoped would be a big end.

Great Britain made a mistake in the seventh, giving Canada hope for a comeback. On a mostly clear house, Dodds' hammer throw just needed to draw to the button, but it came in too fast and floated through, giving Canada a steal of two to get within two going into the final end.

But Dodds and Mouat bounced back in the 8th. On the fourth throw, Mouat took out both of Canada's two sitting stones, leaving Canada with an empty house and only two stones remaining. Mouat again took out Canada's rock on his penultimate stone, forcing the Canadians to concede the win to Great Britain.

With the win, Great Britain improves to 6-0 in Cortina. They'll take on the other unbeaten team, the United States, later this morning at 8:35 a.m. ET.

Canada (3-2) will take the second session off and return to take on Estonia in the third session at 1:05 p.m. ET.

Rasmus Wrana was successful on a double takeout on Sweden's second-to-last stone, AND Isabella Wrana got a double of her own on the hammer to give her team three more and a 10-7 lead with one end to play.
