Alberts, 27, appeared in 35 regular season games for the Bruins last season, recording two assists and 39 penalty minutes. He was also scoreless in two playoff games for Boston.
"Andrew is a big, competitive defenseman and he skates well," general manager Paul Holmgren said. "He will bring experience and depth to our team."
Alberts missed 47 games last season due to post-concussion symptoms following a hit in the game against the Flyers on November 26.
The 22-year-old Lukacevic, 22, registered 17 goals and 36 points over 61 contests for Reading of the ECHL last season.
