Manitoba's Jeff Stoughton is alone on top at 2 and 0 after day one of the Tim Hortons Brier.

The New Brunswick skip opened the Canadian men's curling championship by upsetting Ontario's Glenn Howard 5-4.

Alberta's Kevin Martin, who is seeking a record fifth Brier championship as a skip, is 1 and 0 along with Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Saskatchewan plays Quebec today at 1:30 p.m. in the second draw and Ontario at 6:30 p.m. in the third draw.
