The day started with Newfoundland and Labrador riding the crest, all alone at the top of the standings with a 5-0 record. Next came five teams, including the Freddy Fraser rink from the Western Community Curling Club, at 2-2 and all looking for that second and third play-off spots.
When the morning draw was over, three teams, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Saskatchewan, moved to 3-2 while P.E.I and Ontario dropped to 2-3.

Prince Edward Island’s setback came at the hands of Nova Scotia, an 8-2 decision highlighted by five stolen points over the third and fourth ends.
