EDMONTON — Canada’s Brad Gushue defeated Russia’s Alexey Stukalskiy 11-3 in round-robin play Sunday at the world men’s curling championship. The rout was on in the second end as Stukalskiy wrecked on a guard to give Canada a steal of four. Russia got on the board with two points in the third, but Gushue answered with a pair in the fourth for an 8-2 lead. Kevin Koe skipped Canada to a gold medal at last year’s world championship in Basel, Switzerland. Gushue, meanwhile, is trying to become the first skip to win gold at the world junior championship (2001), Olympic Games (2006) and world men’s championship.
