And if he was on a breakaway at the time then yes, he still gets a penalty shot along with that player getting a major.
If he was tripped, like any normal trip on a breakaway then the referee can't give both the minor and the shot, its either or.
This applys for every rulebook that I know of.
I have giving this once in my career. Player had a breakaway, player from behind crosschecks him hard about 5 feet from the net and the player flys into the post head first, injured. Not shot was released.
-Penalty Shot for player on breakaway (was replaced by another player since he was injured)
-Major Penalty for checking from behind into goal frame (or cross checking, I dont remember what i decided to call)
-Game Misconduct.

It was a simple trip. No malicious intent. This game also had 17 penalties called, where most of our normal games consist of 2-5 at the most.
