With the win, Einarson's rink from Gimli, improved to 4-0 and moved into the Group A lead ahead of Ontario's Rachel Homan (3-0), who was scheduled to play in Monday's late draw.

Galusha fell into a fifth-place tie with Northern Ontario's Krysta Burns and Wild Card 2's Mackenzie Zacharias at 1-2.

Leading 4-3 after six ends, Einarson took control of the match by scoring two in the seventh. Galusha got one back in the eighth, but Einarson put the game away with another deuce in the ninth.

The only match of Monday's morning session was a makeup of a Draw 3 contest originally scheduled for Saturday that was postponed when a member of the N.W.T. team fell ill with what was believed to be food poisoning.

SCHLADMING, Austria - Canada's Reece Howden captured a silver medal, while Courtney Hoffos won bronze at a World Cup ski cross event on Friday.

Howden, from Cutlus Lake, B.C., crossed the finish line just behind winner Johannes Rohrweck of Austria in the men's race to earn his fifth medal of the season.

Howden is the overall leader on the men's World Cup circuit.

Hoffos, from Windermere, B.C., finished behind Sandra Naeslund of Sweden and Fanny Smith of Switzerland.     It was Hoffos' first podium since December 2019.

The skiers were racing at Reiteralm, a first-time World Cup course.

Two Canadians have advanced into the fourth round at the Australian Open.

Milos Raonic advanced to his eighth career Aussie Open round of 16 with a win over Hungary's Marton Fucsovics.

Canadian speedskater Laurent Dubreuil won a world championship in the men's 500 metres Friday.

Russia's Pavel Kulizhnikov was second in 34.540 and Dai Dai N'tab of the Netherlands third in 34.628.

The Toronto Raptors aren't going back to Toronto this season.

The team said Thursday it will stay in its adopted home of Tampa, Florida, because of ongoing challenges related to the coronavirus pandemic and how that affects the process of crossing the border between the U.S. and Canada.

The Raptors are 6-5 in their “home” building this season, Amalie Arena, which they're sharing with the Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

Toronto made the move south last fall, knowing Thursday's decision was a real possibility. The land border with Canada remains closed to nonessential travellers who are not Canadian citizens. And Canada requires those entering the country to isolate for 14 days, which wouldn't be feasible for NBA teams. The Canadian government has also strongly discouraged nonessential travel for any reason.

Tampa also has the reigning Super Bowl champion Buccaneers, and the Tampa Bay Rays played in the World Series last season.

 Canada's Brodie Seger finished a career-best fourth in the men's super-G at the alpine skiing world championships on Thursday.

The top three faced some anxious moments when the unheralded Canadian came down as a late starter.

Wearing bib No. 28, the native of North Vancouver, B.C., was only a few tenths off the lead throughout his run and finished 0.42 behind winner Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria.

Seger trailed bronze medallist Alexis Pinturault of France by just four-hundredths.

Seger's run also bumped defending champion Dominik Paris into fifth place.

Seger returned to the World Cup circuit just last week after being sidelined for a month with a shoulder injury.
