If the Thursday Night Football contest between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions isn't enough for you, there's an incredible 10 games of NHL action on display tonight.

Last night was full of goals, with the Utah Mammoth routing the Anaheim Ducks 7-0, and the Washington Capitals taking care of the San Jose Sharks 7-1.

We've got a few very juicy matchups tonight, with the Avalanche-Islanders and the Penguins-Lightning highlighting the schedule.

Without further ado, we present our NHL best bets for December 4th. We've got plenty of NHL player props, anytime goal scorers, and even a parlay pick for today.

Today's NHL Anytime Goal Scorer Picks

Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goal Scorer (-120)

📊 Odds via DraftKings

Until Nathan MacKinnon stops acting like the best player in all of hockey, we're going to keep smashing this prop.

26 games into the season, MacKinnon is on pace for roughly 70 goals and 75 assists, which is pretty absurd to think about.

MacKinnon is also on a four-game goal-scoring streak, hitting the back of the net in six of his last seven games.

Bo Horvat Anytime Goal Scorer (+180)

📊 Odds via FanDuel 

While the Islanders haven't been able to muster much offense since Kyle Palmieri tore his ACL, Bo Horvat has gained the responsibility of leading the Islanders attack.

In his age-30 season, Horvat is on pace for almost 50 goals, which would heavily surpass his career-high total of 33.

Horvat's scored in back-to-back games, scoring two of New York's three goals in that span.

Morgan Geekie Anytime Goal Scorer (+140)

📊 Odds via BetMGM

We think Morgan Geekie is still a very underrated buy. Before last season's 33-goal outburst, Geekie's career-high goal total was 17. In fact, he's upped his goal total in each of his six full seasons in the league.

Geekie has already tallied 20 goals in the first 28 games of the season and is on pace for nearly 60. Against the Blues tonight, one of the leakiest defenses in hockey, we're gonna bet on Geekie to keep it going.

NHL Player Props Today

Evgeni Malkin 2+ Points (+370)

📊 Odds via FanDuel 

We think Malkin's stats don't match his true productivity. While he's already recorded 20 assists this season, he's only scored 6 goals despite leading the team in shots on goal.

At nearly +400, we're certainly going to take our shot at this one tonight.

Mika Zibanejad 1+ Points (-145)

📊 Odds via DraftKings

The Rangers have been doing well in the goal department recently, scoring 14 goals over their last four games. Tonight, they face the Ottawa Senators, who have the worst save percentage in hockey.

Zibanejad has at least one point in each of those four games, and in six of his last seven.

Connor Bedard 5+ Shots on Goal (+340)

📊 Odds via FanDuel 

Have you seen Bedard on the ice lately? He's clearly a man possessed. He has 5+ shots on goal in an incredible six of his last nine games, all while looking like he's living up to his virtually impossible potential.

After topping out at 67 points last season, Bedard is on pace for 120 points this year, and he looks like the superstar we all thought he was going to be.
