The scoreboard remained static for several ends, as four consecutive blanks led to an eighth, where both skips opted to throw away their final stones, giving Scotland a single point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the ninth, Mouat made a well-placed tap to sit three, forcing Jacobs into a tough decision. Rather than drawing for a single, he conceded the point with a double takeout, setting up his final-end strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up next, <strong>Canada will have a critical showdown against defending champion Sweden<\/strong> and a matchup with Italy on Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>top six teams from the 13-nation field will move forward to the weekend playoffs<\/strong>, where the battle for gold will truly intensify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Brad Jacob&#8217;s and Team Canada make it to the playoffs?
