Canada's Reid Carruthers opened the Grand Slam of Curling season Tuesday with a 7-5 loss to Sweden's Niklas Edin at the HearingLife Tour Challenge.

Carruthers, from Winnipeg, was the lone Canadian skip in action during the opening draw at Bell Aliant Centre in Charlottetown.

He missed an angle-raise in the eighth end for the win and was denied an extra end when a measure confirmed an Edin single. It's the first Grand Slam event since The Curling Group purchased the five-event series from Sportsnet last April.

The network will continue to be the exclusive Canadian broadcast rights holder, with televised coverage slated to begin Thursday and continue through Sunday's finals.
