Luke Witkowski is keeping his cell phone close.

For one thing, he’s checking in with Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin, who was hit in the groin area by a puck during a game at the World Championship. Witkowski sent Larkin a message via Snapchat.

That’s on a personal level. On a professional level, Witkowski is waiting to meet with new general manager Steve Yzerman, who took over the team April 19.
