Corey Perry said he is getting help for substance abuse issues and is “sickened” by the impact his actions have had on his former Blackhawks teammates.

Perry was released by the Blackhawks on Tuesday after an incident that was reportedly “alcohol-fueled” at a team event.

After the 38-year-old Perry initially stepped away from the team late last week, salacious rumors were rampant on social media.

“As a result of my actions, there has been speculation and rumors. I am sickened by the impact this has had on others, and I want to make it clear that in no way did this situation involve any of my teammates or their families,” Perry said in a statement. “Most importantly, I want to directly apologize to those who have been negatively affected and I am sorry for the additional impact to others it has created. My behavior was inappropriate and wrong.”

Perry, who was acquired in a trade with the Lightning this offseason, had four goals and five assists in 16 games before he was put on waivers, where he went unclaimed.

The team saiid the decision was based on “unacceptable” behavior.

“I have started working with experts in the mental health and substance abuse fields to discuss my struggles with alcohol and I will take whatever steps necessary to ensure this never happens again,” Perry said.

“I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career.”

The Post’s Larry Brooks reported Wednesday that the NHL players association is reviewing Perry’s situation, and the union has 60 days from the termination of his contract to file a grievance.

Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson said he pulled Perry from the lineup before a Nov. 22 game against the Blue Jackets upon learning of the incident.

Perry, the longtime Anaheim Duck, won a Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007 and won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP during the 2010-11 season, when he recorded 50 goals and 48 assists.

He spent one season each with the Stars (2019-20) and Canadiens (2020-21) before joining the Lightning for two years.
