Bissonnette pointed out the Bruins don't necessarily play at a high pace, but the Rangers are known for speed and skill.
"I feel that's a pretty decent matchup for New York up front," he said.
Yandle picked the Carolina Hurricanes, even though forward Andrei Svechnikov is out for the season with a knee injury. The Hurricanes defeated the Bruins in seven games in the Eastern Conference First Round last season and rank second to them in the NHL standings this season.
"I think Carolina matches up good against the Bruins," Yandle said. "I know they're a little banged up with Svechnikov out, but I think that they play them hard. It's a hard building to play in. The series last year was electric, so hoping to see that again this year."
Bissonnette said he has the Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights in his top four in the West, but who he likes will depend on who wins the division titles and draws the wild cards in the Western Conference First Round.
Colorado leads Dallas by one point in the Central Division with two games to go for each team. The Avalanche host the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday and visit the Nashville Predators on Friday. The Stars visit the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday and host them Thursday.
Vegas leads Edmonton by two points in the Pacific Division with one game to go for each team. The Golden Knights visit the Seattle Kraken, and the Oilers host the San Jose Sharks, each on Thursday.
The Minnesota Wild are third in the Central, the Los Angeles Kings third in the Pacific. The Kraken hold the first wild card, the Jets the second.
"I just don't think Winnipeg and Seattle are a threat this year compared to the other six out west," Bissonnette said. "If you end up having to play in that two and three spot, that's just going to be a very difficult first-round matchup, where more than likely you're going six or seven games and it's physical."
Yandle picked the Stars and pointed to goalie Jake Oettinger, who had a 1.81 goals-against average, a .954 save percentage and one shutout in a seven-game loss to the Calgary Flames in the Western Conference First Round last season.
"I've said it for a while: It's Dallas for me," Yandle said. "I can't wait to watch Oettinger in playoffs to see if he can do what he did last year. Excited to see them."
Carter said he would pick the Avalanche, depending on the status of defenseman Cale Makar, or the Oilers.
Makar, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs' most valuable player when the Avalanche won the Cup last season, has missed the past five games with a lower-body injury.
The Oilers defeated the Avalanche 2-1 in overtime Tuesday for their eighth straight win.
"I really love the way the Oilers have been playing," Carter said. "I think they're the team that could potentially knock off the Bruins if they met up in the Final."
