Team Canada — led by skip Brad Gushue and including Islander Brett Gallant — is getting ready for a fourth game at the world men's curling championship in Las Vegas.

They will be up against Italy at 5:30 p.m. AT.

Team Canada beat Russia in the opening match-up of the tournament on Saturday before losing to Scotland.

On Sunday, the team rebounded with a 7-2 victory over the Swiss.

A victory over Italy would give Canada three wins going into Tuesday matches with Korea and Japan.

Canada wraps up round-robin action against Germany on Friday.
