PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Canada’s Kerri Einarson won her second game in a row at the women’s world curling championship with a 10-4 win over Japan on Tuesday.

The victory pulled the host country even with Japan in the standings at 4-2.

Canada faces Sweden (5-1) and will earn a win over Scotland by forfeit Wednesday. After two losses, the Scots withdrew Sunday because four members of the team tested positive for COVID-19.

The Canadians scored two points in the second and fourth ends and three in the eighth with hammer against Japan and didn’t allow Ikue Kitazawa to set up a multi-point end.
