The Prince George Cougars have hit the 20-game mark and are averaging less than two goals per game (39 total).
For the second time this season the Cougars were shutout, as the Blazers posted a 1-0 victory over Prince George before 5,416 fans Friday night in Kamloops.
It was the first of nine meetings this season between the two teams.
In one of his top performances of the season, Taylor Gauthier blocked 43 of 44 shots but it was not enough to prevent the Cougars from suffering their sixth straight loss.
Rayce Ramsay made 23 saves for his second shutout of the season.
Matthew Seminoff scored the game’s only goal 38-seconds into the third period.
Seminoff tally was from near the goal-line on the right-wing, as he found space between the post and Gauthier.
The Cougars best chance to get on the scoresheet was in the first period but Ethan Browne was stopped by Ramsay on a penalty-shot.
Rayce Ramsay & the @blazerhockey edged the Prince George Cougars as one of four one-goal games Friday.
