SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — Canada settled for silver at the world men’s curling championship for a second straight year with a 6-5 loss to Sweden in Sunday’s gold-medal game.

The teams entered the last end tied 5-5, with Sweden skip Niklas Edin having the last shot.

He made it count, scoring on a tough draw to give him a seventh world title.

Sweden got out to an early lead with two points in the second end and a steal of one in the third.

Brad Gushue’s rink from St. John’s, N.L., fought back, and its two-point ninth end set the stage for the dramatic 10th.
