A flubbed hit and roll by the Danes in the ninth end gave Canada its first lead of the game.
Nielsen recovered with a point in the 10th to force another end, setting up Carey's win on the final throw.
The Canadians return to the ice on Sunday morning to face reigning world champion Switzerland in Draw 3.
