Former Utica Comets defenseman Michael Vukojevic has signed a two-year deal with Pelicans in Liiga, it was reported Friday.
Drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the third round of the 2019 NHL Draft, Vukojevic spent the 2023-24 season with the Comets. In 49 regular season games, he scored three goals and added seven assists for 10 points.

In 166 regular season AHL games over parts of four seasons with the Devils organization, Vukojevic had 41 points.
A product of Oakville, Ont., Vukojevic played in the USHL (Green Bay Gamblers) and OHL (Kitchener Rangers) before turning pro.
As he takes his talents to the Pelicans, Vukojevic could potentially be paired alongside Wyatt Kalynuk who also recently signed with the team. Although Vukojevic never saw an NHL game with the Devils, he could still bolster a team’s depth if he is looking to return to North America following the end of his contract.
