"We played a good game. We played well," said Schneider, who made 23 saves. "It's disappointing we didn't get [the] result [we wanted]. ... I thought we were going to get [a goal]. We couldn't get one through."
New York moved four points ahead of New Jersey for third place in the Metropolitan Division and has two games in hand.
Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk appeared to be injured late in the second period when he was hit into the boards by Devils forward Jordan Tootoo with 5:00 remaining. Boychuk got up holding his shoulder and skated to the dressing room, slamming his stick against the boards as he went off the ice. Boychuck, who missed five weeks with a shoulder injury before returning Feb. 6, played in the third period.
"It was a concern when you get a stinger and you just came back from a shoulder injury," Boychuk said. "It's kind of scary, but luckily I'm OK and just a little stiff."
Tootoo was assessed a five minute cross-checking penalty, which the Devils killed, and a game misconduct.
The Islanders continue their road trip Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. The Devils visit the Capitals on Saturday.
"All you can do is move on," Devils defenseman Andy Greene said. "In the end it's about winning games. You need to score goals to win games."
