MCEWEN IN THE MIX AGAIN
Mike McEwen and his Saskatoon-based squad will play at least another day.
McEwen scored five points in the seventh end to blitz Sweden's Team Niklas Edin 11-5 Friday morning and earn his second win in a row to finish preliminary play level at 2-2.
It's too early to tell if the seven-time Grand Slam champ McEwen (six points) will make it straight through to the quarterfinals or have to take a detour through a tiebreaker. An exceptional shootout tally, second best among all men's teams in the tournament, should guarantee him at least something.
The alternate route hasn't worked out for McEwen so far this season, with losses to Team Brad Jacobs at the AMJ Masters and Team Brad Gushue at the CO-OP Tour Challenge in tiebreakers.
Friday marks 15 years since McEwen captured his first Grand Slam title at the Masters, then called the World Cup of Curling. McEwen defeated Jeff Stoughton, who now works for Curling Canada and just so happened to be on McEwen's bench this week.
While teammates Kevin and Dan Marsh have won a Tier 2 title and Colton Flasch has captured the season championship, all three are still seeking their first major event title in the series.

ABOUT THE KIOTI GSOC TAHOE
The KIOTI GSOC Tahoe is the third stop of the Grand Slam of Curling season, featuring 16 men’s teams and 16 women’s teams from around the world.
The preliminary round runs through to Friday evening, with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. If necessary, one tiebreaker round will be played Saturday morning. The quarterfinals and semifinals are scheduled for Saturday, with both finals on tap Sunday.
Teams can blank only one end per game. If a team blanks again at any other point in the game, they will lose the hammer.
There are no extra ends. If a game is tied after eight ends, even in the playoffs, a draw-to-the-button shootout will determine the winner.
During the preliminary round, teams receive three points for a regulation win (in eight ends or fewer), two points for a shootout win, and one point for a shootout loss.
