Klarc Wilson scored the lone goal for the Cougars (18-37-8), who are winless in five games and sit five points behind the Everett Silvertips for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Cole Cheveldave made 26 saves for the win as Mac Engel stopped 29 shots in a losing cause.
Kamloops went 0 for 8 on the power play while Prince George scored once on six chances with the man advantage.
